Here's where I see the difference between this movie and Michael Moore's flicks: Moore's movies debuted in theaters - this movie debuts on broadcast television. Broadcast television is still theoretically the domain of the people - that's why the FCC can do stupid things like fine broadcasters for saying "dirty" things.
I have three basic problems with the current situation:
- It's on broadcast television.
- It's being presented by "ABC News" - implying that the "docu" part of docudrama is more legit than it apparently is.
- The timing is incredibly suspect.
Scaeagles, how did you feel about the Reagan movie that was pulled from broadcast on CBS due to conservative pressure?
