The Disney Company has used revisionist history in the past when telling it's own official story. The Disney Company is now using revisionist history in broadcasting a two night miniseries called,
The Path to 9/11 which is "based on the report of the
National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the
9/11 Commission)." Apparently the blame for 9/11 is laid squarely at the feet of the Clinton administration. Please read
this article before posting, if your first impulse is to attack me, liberals in general, cut-and-runners, etc.
I'm in no mood.
Conservative media hosts were given pre-broadcast screeners while liberal hosts were not. Former Bush counterterrorism official, Roger Cressey said, on
Scarborough Country (!) "Joe - what’s amazing about this based on what I seen so far is how much they got wrong." The screenwriterwriter, Cyrus Nowrasteh, a year ago called Michael Moore an "out of control socialist weasel." Probably no agenda there.
At a National Press Club screening last month, Richard Ben-Veniste - one of the 10 members of the independent Sept. 11 commission
took issue with many of the "facts" presented in the film.
Jesus General has a great letter to Bob Iger.
Crooks and Liars posts a great piece on this. Check out
Truthdig's commentary here, while Democratic House members have drafted their own
letter to Bob Iger.
Apparently Disney/Apple is making this available as a free download on iTunes, and distributing 100,000 copies to schoolrooms with with online study guides. Propaganda is alive and well. To quote
this blog, "September 11 is a national tragedy, it should not be a subject for dishonest political propaganda." Please, if you feel as strongly about this as I do, I urge you to contact
