Is anybody boycotting ABC after that political movie aired?

Answer 1

I am...

It sux too because I like to watch Joy on The View. I emailed her from their website telling her sorry but I will never watch another ABC show again.

I also watched their morning show but moved to Today this morning. Thank God I don't watch their soaps.

There are several reasons this crossed the line:

1. Was on network tv.. not in theaters... meaning free tv that goes right to ppl's livingrooms for free.

2. The difference from something like this and say Fahren. 911 was that from the minute Fah. 911 started, you knew it was propaganda. Michael Moore himself said, "It is propaganda." This had the distinct misrepresentation of being based on fact. Even their disclaimer implied they just changed characters and made up scenes to make it like a movie.

3. They know some things were false and did not change them... they only change a few scenes. There were some things that flat never happened.

4. The entire movie had a spin and bias on it. That just tickes me off based on 1 -3 when they know this is an election year.

Bottom line is that ABC knew what they were doing and purposely broadcasted this movie to influence republican votes.

I removed ABC from my tv and I ask my broker today to look up all related companies to Disney.

The Candidate 10. 7 Days in could BQ i've got not got HBO......2 of Palin's marketing campaign aides say the representation of her is precise.

Answer 3

No not really... I only watched part of path to 9/11. They actually didn't change much that I know of contratry to all the whining on both sides. Besides, Clinton et. al. were not trying to censor, their complaint was that it misrepresented conversations and actions that did or did not happen. Not that there were mistakes. You people need to get your facts straight.

Besides there are way better shows to watch if you want a documentary or docudrama on 9/11.

Answer 4

Check out this site: http://www.wanttoknow.info/9-11timeline60pg

Its a time line of events surrounding 9/11 from the 70's to the present and each entry has references from the main stream media to back it up. No theories, just facts. Excellent reading.

Answer 5

Did you hear what Chavez said? Speaking on TV he endorsed the theory of the Twin Towers being blown down with dynamite.
That is the kind of damage some stupid (or greedy) Americans inflict upon themselves by inventing such stories.

Answer 6

Sorry, they could air public burnings of babies and I'd still watch "Lost".

Besides, in revenge an Iraqi nails a white chick. Gotta love that.

Answer 7

Not at all, that was a better fantasy film than "Harry Potter!" I loved it!

Now a real life true documentary like "Dixie Chicks, Shut up and Sing". I might boycott that for being about how the conservatives hate Free Speech.

Answer 8

If you are referring to "The Path to 9-11", no. In fact, I'm giving them kudos's. It's about time some body told the truth of how inept our government was. That includes Both Clinton and Bush's administrations. Although Bush did do something, even if you don't agree with him. That's more than Clinton would do.

Answer 9

Their advertisers put up their own boycott - 48 hours before broadcast, they had no company buying advertising for that miserable put-up job.
So there's not much to boycott.

Answer 10

I guess I would, but you know, I don't watch 'em that much anyway. I like CSI, Numbers, and Ghost Whisperer (though it looks like the latter is going to "jump the shark" this season.
