What’s more, the network will show the movie with no interruptions, which seems like a tacit way of saying this movie is too important, too truthful to be sullied with something as phony as a commercial.

The ABC network has rejected criticism, saying the film was not a documentary and no one had seen the final version as it was still being edited.

A former military aide to President Clinton who claims he witnessed several missed opportunities to capture or kill Osama bin Laden says the producer of the ABC mini-series "The Path to 9/11" came to him in frustration after network executives under a heavy barrage of criticism from former administration officials began pressing for changes to the script.
In an interview with WND, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson said producer and writer Cyrus Nowrasteh called him the morning of Sept. 1, explaining he had used Patterson's book "Dereliction of Duty" as a source for the drama.
Later that day, Nowrasteh brought a preview copy of "The Path to 9/11" to Patterson for him to view at home. Patterson, who says he has talked with the director seven or eight times since then, also received a phone call from an ABC senior vice president, Quinn Taylor.
Patterson told WND he recognizes the television production conflates several events, but, in terms of conveying how the Clinton administration handled its opportunities to get bin Laden, it's "100 percent factually correct," he said.
"I was there with Clinton and (National Security Adviser Sandy) Berger and watched the missed opportunities occur," Patterson declared.
The five-hour drama is scheduled to air in two parts, Sunday night and Monday night, Sept. 11.

You just got blasted and you can't admit it. SLU claimed that this was being called a documentary and I pointed out that it wasn't. THAT was the argument, end of story.
If they were trying to pass this off as absolute reality, why would they bother putting a disclaimer four times throughout the mini-series stating that it isn't a documentary? Come on, you should be able to talk your way out of this. Why would they do that?
Sorry 'bout cha.

I got blasted? You are the one who thinks the debate over this production begins and ends with a single word. Not me.
you are good at ignoring what has already been presented.
Former New Jersey governor Tom Kean, who co-chaired the commission, was a senior consultant on the movie and has personally vouched for the movie’s accuracy in recent months. “This is the story of how it happened,” Kean said at a news conference in July. Added Platt: “Our ambitions and our goals and our standards were all about accuracy.” ABC was so impressed with the “accuracy” of the movie, it has planned to send it to schools as a teaching tool.
BTW, ABC is being forced to change their statements about the film and its content. They are caving.
sorry 'bout cha.

Go_Disc, don't you find it a bit ironic that the Republicans on this Board know that the show is NOT a documentary, but the Dems like yourself are unsure?
Perhaps Republicans DO have a better grip on things than the ever exaggerating Dems?
Yuh think?

Yes, you got blasted. You can post that one piece of commentary over and over and over again, it doesn't change the fact that ABC has come out and said that it is not a documentary.
You really need to let this one go. Confession is good for the soul. You should try it.
"I, go_disc_golf, was mistaken. I was wrong and I tried to dance around it. I really didn't know what I was talking about it. Hopefully I'll do better next time."
Try it. You'll feel better.

they are calling it "THE TRUE STORY"... They have marketed the accuracy as flawless.
luckily, thanks to good Americans, ABC is backing down and editing it. I'm sure that lies about 9/11 not being told will make you sad but as you say.
sorry bout cha!

Nope. I believe you've dance around so much in this thread that you forgot what we were talking about. Better go back and re-read a bit.
