I never saw it but I read about the drama before it aired. It seems much of the right-wing propaganda was taken out of it due to an overwhelming response from an educated public. It shows how much power the People can have over a right-wing dictatorship if they rise up against the misinformation and deception.

of course,, but many don't know it,, so decent but gullible Americans will believe that the movie about 9-11 on ABC,, was factual,, the Reagan movie was thought to be inaccurate and the right wing fiscal conservatives were outraged,,, the same ones who are criticizing Clinton,,, the Republican party itself is politically incorrect (no offense to Bill Mauer)

No, it was not propaganda, it was written and broadcast by liberals. The movie was a sad little dramatization. The only reason anyone watched it was the free publicity kicked up by Democratic furor.
Although it must have hit close to the mark for Clinton to get his panties in a bunch and scream on national TV. At first I thought it was faux Democratic emotion, but the replay shows he really lost it.
The network got the best advertising they could have asked for, FREE and on every cable news talk show.

Its just like any other completely fictional movie.
Of interest to movie goers, but no deep meaning to the story line.
It's a way of filling air time, and keeping the public's minds full of excrement
So, the simple answer to your question is - yes.

It was not the truth. Admittedly, parts were fabricated and not derived from the 9/11 Commission Report. It was docudrama, and that is really pushing it.

No. It was taken from the 9-11 commission report.

Maybe.
The problem with that assumption is that propaganda machines do not allow opposing viewpoints to be heard. If the "right wing" is a propaganda machine, then it is failing miserably at the basic rule of propaganda.

It seemed to blame everybody, so it doesn't fit the definition of propaganda. If you're referring to the fact that it showed the devastation of the attacks and like so many liberals, consider THAT propaganda, then, I guess, yes. Telling the truth can still be like propaganda.
