Keep Repugnican Propaganda Off Our Airwaves

Note: I am not a Democrat. I am, however, a member of the reality-based community that finds this horseshit inherently offensive and destructive. Courtesy of my friend Janet Trautvetter.

The ABC television network -- a cog in the Walt Disney empire -- unleashed a promotional blitz in the last week for a new "docudrama" called "The Path to 9/11". ABC has thrown its corporate might behind the two-night production, and bills it as a public service: a TV event, to quote the ABC tagline, "based on the 9/11 Commission Report".

That's false. "The Path to 9/11" is actually a bald-faced attempt to slander Democrats and revise history right before Americans vote in a major election.

The miniseries, which was put together by right-wing conservative writers, relies on the old GOP playbook of using terrorism to scare Americans. "The Path to 9/11" mocks the truth and dishonors the memory of 9/11 victims to serve a cheap, callous political agenda. It irresponsibly misrepresents the facts and completely distorts the truth.

They won't even let members of the Clinton Administration SEE the show ahead of airing -- but have given hundreds of previews to conservative bloggers and opinionists like Rush Limbaugh.

Join me in telling Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger to keep this propaganda off the air. Somehow this strikes me as a lot more serious than a split-second glimpse of Janet Jackson's breast...
