Fox News to air unseen ‘9/11’ movie footage

LOS ANGELES - Fox News Channel says it has obtained controversial unseen footage from ABC’s miniseries ‘The Path to 9/11’ and will air the video during ‘Hannity’s America’ on Sunday night.

Before ‘Path’ aired in September, Democrats and former aides to President Clinton demanded changes to the miniseries, which revolves around the events leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks, saying that it contained fictionalized scenes and unfairly blamed the Clinton administration for failing to capture or kill Osama bin Laden.

Ahead of ‘Path’s’ broadcast, ABC was said to have made minor edits, including altering a scene in which an actor playing Sandy Berger, national security adviser to Clinton from 1997-2001, declines to give the CIA the authority to attack bin Laden.

Fox News recorded video of the unedited scene during a Jan. 19 speech given by ‘Path’ writer-producer Cyrus Nowrasteh at California State University, Channel Islands, in Camarillo, where he explained his side of the story and screened the footage. Because it was a public event, Fox News said, it was able to record the video and the speech.

1. Whatever.
If it's on Fux the only people that will see it are people that believe that nonsense anyway.

3. How strange :sarcasm:
Not even a week after Hillary announces. :grr: Pathetic!
On the other hand, this should help the cause for the new and improved fairness doctrine.

4. Is that the footage where Bill Clinton invites bin Laden to stay in the Lincoln bedroom?
