No... it's the lies.
I notice your Ms. Stanley has this to say about the lead up to 9/11...

The Sept. 11 commission concluded that the sex scandal distracted the Clinton administration from the terrorist threat.

Perhaps someone would be so kind as to direct me to the page number in the 9/11 commission report that makes this charge. We've all read the 9/11 commission report, haven't we?
We're watching myths being created before our eyes, folks. If the media and politicians and actors can change the truth of the 9/11 story in 5 years, imagine what's happened to the widely accepted "Word of God" in 2,000 years.
Tie THAT into your other thread.
But I am encouraged, especially by the letter from Senate Democratic leadership yesterday...

The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving the public interest.

Should Disney allow this programming to proceed as planned, the factual record, millions of viewers, countless schoolchildren, and the reputation of Disney as a corporation worthy of the trust of the American people and the United States Congress will be deeply damaged.

Trustee of the public airwaves... trust of the American people and the United States Congress... I like! Threaten that broadcast license!!
M-I-C... See ya later, ABC!
Now, do I expect ABC to lose their license, even if they air this trash? No.
But, I hope they realize the error of their ways and pull this program before air date. If not, zapping all their channels on my Tivo won't be all that hard; certainly not as hard as cancelling my upcoming WDW trip.
