What are the odds that if Republicans complained about an unbalanced portrayal in a “docudrama”, the various companies involved would acquiesce so readily? Various Clintonistas, and Clinton himself, are complaining about the portrayal of the Clinton administration’s hunt for Osama bin Laden (or lack thereof.)
The made-for-TV movie, ``The Path to 9/11,” has prompted howls from Democrats who argue that ABC is engaging in a partisan attack by airing a film that fictionalizes events to portray President Bill Clinton and his top aides failing to take action to eliminate Osama bin Laden during the 1990s.
Ah yes, the infamously conservative broadcast networks. How nefarious of them.
Nan,
I’ve heard that story as well, from a friend who was in the special forces and whose word I trust.
It was aired but moved to Showtime. They claimed that it wasn’t from the pressure and they didn’t actually change anything of substance.
Guess this is the night when I have to remind people of the Complete Blog Commenting Guidelines.
Nate, if you can’t be civil then you will be banned. Show some respect to your elders and my guests.
