I'm thinking about tuning in to ABC tonight, looks like it might be pretty interesting, artistic licence or not. Having politicians infuriated over it has stirred my interest.
 


i am tivoing it - tonight and tomorrow. If neither political party is happy about it , then it has to be decent
 
I have it on right now.

It is essentially a dramatization of the events leading up to september 11th; right now the 1993 bombing is happening
 
how can it be propaganda when it was based on the 911 commision report. Or were you expecting the program to say the government planned 911.
 
Had to work tonight, probably wouldn't have watched it anyways-I don't watch TV much. It'll be interesting to see what everyone has to say from morning shows to night time hosts.
 
propaganda by who? disney?

you honestly believe that the people making these dramatized "documentaries" are going to provide you with honest unbiased information?

took me some time to find it, but here you go -
this is a very recent interview between President Bill Clinton and Fox News’ Chris Wallace

CLINTON: OK, let’s talk about it. I will answer all of those things on the merits but I want to talk about the context of which this arises. I’m being asked this on the FOX network…ABC just had a right wing conservative on the Path to 9/11 falsely claim that it was based on the 9/11 Commission report with three things asserted against me that are directly contradicted by the 9/11 Commission report. I think it’s very interesting that all the conservative Republicans who now say that I didn’t do enough, claimed that I was obsessed with Bin Laden. All of President Bush’s neocons claimed that I was too obsessed with finding Bin Laden when they didn’t have a single meeting about Bin Laden for the nine months after I left office. All the right wingers who now say that I didn’t do enough said that I did too much. Same people.

so the Path 9/11 was presenting facts that directly contradicted what was said in the 9/11 Commission report.
Who's more likely to lie here.. the 9/11 commission? or this docu-drama?
A distortion of facts used for a political agenda meant to support a particular political party is one of the meanings of propaganda.
 
I'm not sure if you have heard about the 9/11 conspiracy film, "Loose Change". Well there is a new one out now called "Screw Loose Change" that debunks *all* of the 9/11 conspiracies talked about in that film. I think 9/11 is really about what you want to believe. And I want to believe the truth. :) This "shadow government" conspiracy is absolutely absurd.. it makes people paranoid plus leads further and further from the truth.

You can find the video on YouTube if you are interested. Very good.
