Clintonistas Claim Foul Over ABC 9/11 Film

[HuffleClaw]

"...ABC calls the film "a dramatization, not a documentary, drawn from a number of sources including the 9/11 Commission Report, other published materials, and personal interviews. As such, for dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, and time compression.""

1. Nice unbiased article...NOT.

Oh, brother. :eyes: MKJ

[City Lights]

2. Ha! An article about ABC on ABC!

Not gonna click it. Not gonna do it. I know all I need to know about The Path to 9-11 already. :-)

[LTR]

3. "Clintonistas"?

Yeah, real subtle.

:mad:

[sam sarrha]

8. "Clintonista".... that is a badge i will wear with pride..

[ixion]

12. yeah, that caught my eye as well...

look, I was no great lover of Clinton, although he was worlds better chimpenfurher.

What we are talking about is the truthiness of it all. Has nothing whatsoever to do with CLENIS. :grr:

[MaineDem]

23. How offensive is that!

That's disgusting.

[HereSince1628]

4. "Clintonistas?" as a formal title line from ABC?

Ok, gang, take note the game is going to be played out under the Marquise of Bloggerville rules...basically bare knuckled brawling and truthiness. If you enter the fray beware that there will be no three knockdown rule. Kicking, gouging and hitting below the beltway is to be expected.

5. ABC - Against Bill Clinton. They don't even try to hide it, do they?

"Clintonistas?":eyes::grr:

Okay... you know the drill:

6. ABC News - We Report You Decide

FUCK YOU!

[Liberalynn]

10. ABC

stands for the American Bushit Company.

I've written my affiliate, and the network, and signed the Move On. Org pettition. Not that ABC will read or care or change their minds but I feel better calling bull crap.

21. Or: "We report, you deride."

Get those Derision Grenades ready!

7. Wow "Clintonistas". One day Rush is on CBS news and this is on ABC

The New Truth revolution is almost complete.

Check the last paragraph


For ABC, the blowback from Clinton supporters and aides may not be an entirely bad thing. Conventional wisdom says there's nothing like a little controversy to boost ratings. And this time it is liberals — not conservatives — who are complaining about reputed Hollywood bias.

11. they have been using Lardass Limpballs for a commentator in the media

a lot lately.. shows how desperate they are for liars lately

[liberal N proud]

9. Clintonistas?

They are even making up terms describing Clinton's and those who support the truth?

:grr:

[Bhaisahab]

14. Don't ever recall any US media corporation

calling chimp supporters Bushistas.

I think what I'm seeing here are the birthpangs of a new America - where freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, and war is peace.

George Orwell, damn dude...you were right.

[Warpy]

13. "Clintonista?"

My gawd, the editorial bias is worse than we thought. This is coming right out of Propaganda Central.

Forget what I said about this piece of propaganda getting shopped to other networks. ABC was always the target.

[BootinUp]

15. Nothing to see just some fanatics, move along.

Great reporting there.

[KayLaw]

16. OMG!

I simply can't believe they'd stoop this low. When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it had been started by a troll! (No offense meant, HuffleClaw.)

18. My email

Unless you start referring to members of Bush's inner circle and, by association, anyone who supports him as "Bushistas", your partisan colors will be out there for all to see. The message is clear, though: for objective, honest news, DON'T turn to ABC.

[BootinUp]

19. my short email

SUBJECT: ABCNEWS.com EDITORIAL "CLINTONISTAS?"

I am disturbed to see the name calling of a former Presidential administration on your "news" site. Can you get some professional reporters hired on at ABC and fire Mr. Cochran and your editors as well?

But since your corporation is demonstrating its political bias with "Path to 9/11" which is indefensible on the facts compared to the 9/11 Commission Report, it doesn't surprise me you have resorted to name calling. I smell desperation.

Subject: "Clintonistas Claim Foul Over ABC 9/11 Film..."

Perhaps you didn't realize it, but "Clintonistas" is pejorative.

The bias of ABC and ABC News is utterly contemptible.

With Sadness, because (before the death of the great Peter Jennings), I used to watch your news programs. Not any more.

24. Adding Mine

By inference your article, Clintonista's protest "Path to 911" miniseries", compares a former democratically elected U.S. President to a totalitarian political regime in South America. Since when is calling for the truth to be told, totalitarian like behavior?

I think it calls into question the veracity of your network as a whole, if you object to and defame people simply because they are asking your network to honestly report events even if it is in a so called "Docu-drama."

I used to respect ABC News not anymore.

22. Just like the Zapatistas!

From the Mexican Revolution of 1910 (by Jose Clemente Orozco):


Or the more recent rebellion in Chiapas:


Let us follow our Radical Revolutionary Leader!

25. Variety: ABC mulls yanking miniseries

"The Path to 9/11" is looking a lot like "The Reagans, Part II."

Bill Clinton loyalists are demanding wholesale changes to the upcoming miniseries -- and while ABC is making some snips, the alterations, insiders say, may not please the Dems.

But a bombshell decision may happen anyway: Sources close to the project say the network, which has been in a media maelstrom over the pic, is mulling the idea of yanking the mini altogether.
