Disney's Dubious Path to 9/11

[scaeagles]

Moonliner, while I can respect that, are you suggesting that should Republican leaders have put intense pressure on anyone involved with Fahrenheit 911 to pull it that you would be OK with it?

Opinions by political leaders are certainly fine. Do you suppose it might influence their policy? I ask that only because whenever a poitical leader has strong religious convictions, often times just having them is said to influence their decision making.

Maybe you would be fine with that. Without talking about bias or facts, I would suggest, however, that if republican leadership in government had been so vocally adament about their opposition to Fahrenheit 911 they would be accused of attempts at censorship, using their political influence to have the movie eliminated from various venues, and/or attempting to hide something.

It's gray. If the ABC film was about Monica and the Democratic power brokers leaned on broadcasters that would be one thing but since the subject matter is 9/11 I feel differently. This is a subject that calls for the highest respect and historical accuracy. So in this case I say, yes bring all the pressure you can. In other cases? I say keep your dirty fingers off artistic integrity. It's gray.
