ABC is planning to run this 9/11 “Docu-Drama” without commercial interruption which means it will be basically a free Republican infomercial. If there is a Liberal bias, why would ABC do this?

“Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Commander in Chief” are different. One was a movie that people had to PAY to see. The other was a commercial series that had to sell advertising in order to be aired (and it got canceled when it didn’t) Because the network is airing “The Path to 9/11” without commercials it means they are essential donating prime airtime to what is basically a political advertisement.

The wounds of 9/11 have not yet healed. 3000 friends and family members died.

Thousands of New Yorkers witnessed AMERICAN citizens jumping out of the upper floors of the WTC - to their DEATH! New York's skyline has unalterably changed.

To make up such reprehensible political BS about the alleged "path to 9/11" - and call it "historical" is an insult to the memories of those who died, as well as those who bore witness to the REAL horror of 9/11.

Is there nothing sacred to the Republican party? Is there anything they will not tarnish? Not when it comes to electioneering.

I doubt ABC is doing this with anything more in mind than having the highest ratings ever for a show, and it looks like it is working well for them. Maybe if this is the highest rated show even more programs will be put forth telling the truth about the democrats and ratings will skyrocket. Even if the piece was intentionally biased, well you have to give it to them for figuring out how to get moderates back to watching network TV.

It is interesting if you look at the media, the ones that are doing well financially, network news, cable news, papers, magazines, the only ones doing really well are perceived to be conservative by the liberals. Now that has to lead to a couple of possible realities; more people are conservative, or the outlets are really moderate and there are more moderates, or perhaps the outlets that are doing poorly really do have a liberal bias and Americans are sick of it.

no, there's no proof of a lack of a media bias, because it's very real and very obvious.

By the way, if you hadn't noticed, this is ABC entertainment doing the movie, not ABC news.
[ABC News couldn't POSSIBLY get anything right, so that much is obvious]

ABC is doing it because they didn't realize (when they gave it the green light) that telling the truth was considered "right wing".

They had no idea that just telling the facts of recent history would cause such a firestorm.

Btw, anyone that wants to see this attempted censorship by the Democrats averted and wants to see free speech honored, should email Robert Iger at Disney and say you support the right of those wanting to show the truth about how we got into this climate of terrorism to do so, without death threats.
(his email: robert.a.iger@disney.com)

The producer of this film and the writer have both had their lives and their families lives threatened because of this film.

I guess the Dems only believe in "free speech" when it's their "speech." Anyone else should have their lives threatened. How ironic that they are trying to hide the fact they dropped the ball in stopping those Muslims who want to decide what everyone believes and can watch on tv.

Ask yourselves. . did Bush (or any Republicans) threaten Michael Moore's life (or the lives of anyone else) over his lying "documentary"???

Umm. . I don't think so. . this shows who the real terrorists are. . the liberals, who can't STAND real freedom of speech! (which they pretend to so highly honor).

Yes, the liberal Democrats are threatening to take ABC's broadcasting license away. . hmm. . I guess the liars on the left really AREN'T committed to free speech. That's just lip-service.

Proof requires more than one example. However, stick it in your evidence folder. Once you acquire sufficient evidence to mount a convincing well-reasoned argument on why there is no liberal media bias then I will take the time to prove you wrong ;-). The excerpts I've seen from this documentary address objective truths which many may not be aware of. I for one am eager to watch. I'll withhold my judgment on the bias of this particular program until I've viewed it in its entirety.

i replaced into in severe college throughout Eisenhowers 2nd term. i will attest to the days of limited Media, and with connection with information, reporting replaced into investigative, and frequently substantiated as real, or it replaced into provided as preliminary and unsubstantiated. Broadcast fact throughout a information application replaced into provided as a sidebar, with the fact this fact isn't inevitably the situation of the community or the Station administration. Todays Media, with connection with information, and especially with connection with Politics, is as lots fact as actuality. Newspapers as quickly as stated actuality, and newshounds respected actuality; fact replaced into reserved for the Editorial internet site. Todays Media is entertainment, information does not sell, except it rather is a motor vehicle chase or shootout, or a catastrophe interior the making. I hear to the source, I evaluate consistent with experience, and that i'm biased.

Then why did Harry Reid threaten ABC's free license to broadcast?

Have you ever read the New York or LA times? Ever read the boston globe?

There IS a media bias.

Human nature is inherently biased. It's just that some people & groups are better at acknowledging this and make attempts to correct for it. ABC is keeping up the publicity to attract more viewers. I think their marketing strategy is very disturbing.

There is and never has been a "liberal bias" that, like many others, is a myth created by conservatives to obfuscate the truth.

They are wrong so they lie. Basic neo-con formula.
