Yeah, ok, whatever...I am still laughing:)

Moonliner - good find. I will not disredard my own words. But you'll note that I was supportive of the public pressure and refused to call it censorship. However, many here were accusing public outcry to be censorship in that case. Throughout this debate here I have said nothing except that public pressure is the right way to go. I have said that the government should not be involved.

CBS bowed to the public outcry. I will not be upset in the least if ABC bows out because airing it is deemed bad for business. I will be if they bow out because powerful dems want then to.

WB, no need to apologize. I will always own up to what I've said in the past and not discount it.

Well, tonight's the night I may have to decide to stop throwing money at the Disney Co. Everybody got their copies of the 9/11 Commission Report all printed out? I sure hope they do the right thing and pull this turkey, its not as if they'd lose 40 million dollars since they didn't sell advertising.


Depending on what shows up on my Tivo -

Get ready this week for an exciting new thread about how I used to respect Disney! Share your stories! Be part of the magic!

Hmm, just found out that while there are no commercials for night one, there are for night two. Perhaps we shall make a list of said advertisers.

What if one of the commercials is for Disneyland?

I'll still be going

I'm not planning on watching it. I have very strong opinions about what led up to 9/11, but I won't bother to go into them here because that isn't the point.

Gn2Dlnd, I respect completely any decision people make on a personal level to use their wallet in protest. I've done so about many things.

I do wonder, though....what is it about the 9/11 commission that makes that the accepted final authority? Does no one here think politics came into play in the final version?

I think the fact that this is touted to be a dramatization (wtf?) of the events as laid out in the commission report is where they really step in deep crap, Scaeagles. Now, I will not disagree with you as to the political apsects of the report, which is to be expected given that it's authors are politicians, but to take dramatic license and then piggyback it onto a report that is supposed to be the definitive examnination of the events of 9/11 is bull****. I am really saddened that they have gone to such depths in their desperate attempts to lay this on the liberals and yet again use 9/11 as an election event. Sickening. I suspect the research into this whole mess is going to make better reading the actual commission report, which isn't a difficult thing to accomplish.

Who is "they"? Disney? ABC? Republicans in general?

Both sides have endlessly played politics with it. No matter what one side does, the other will criticize it. Take tomorrow. No matter what Bush does, the criticism will be immense. If he makes some sort of speech, he's politicizing it. If he goes about his business, he doesn't care. It's the same as with Katrina. He flies over in Air Force One, and the criticism is that he can't really take the time to go see the damage up close, and a fly over can't do it, so he obviously doesn't care. There is no action or lack of action that can be devoid of a spin to make it seem negative or positive, depnding on the desired outcome of the spin master.

There have been desperate attempts to lay it at the feet of Bush, not just attempts to lay it at the feet of liberals, WB. It has gone both ways, no doubt.

I expect them to make as accurate a represention of the commission report as possible, if they insist on using the report as their source of information. I also expect them to not take such dramatic license with people's reputations. The dead cannot defend themselves, but the living sure as hell can and I hope the ones who were misrepresented do something about it.

Scaeagles, you and I both know that you would be hitting the roof were this a liberal attempt at historical revisionism- I've seen too many of your posts railing against the so-called liberal media slant to suppose otherwise.

I think that if Bush is smart, he will mark tomorrow as appropriate- a day of remembering the victims of 9/11. Save the posturing and rhetoric for the day after.
