Pres. Clinton to Contact Disney over Fox showing "Path to 9/11"

President Clinton contacting head of Disney over rekindled "Path to 9/11" controversy
by John in DC - 1/26/2007 03:05:00 PM

President Clinton's office has just informed me that they're "taking it all the way to the top at Disney to find out why they're not enforcing copyright" in this matter.

You'll recall that not only is FOX planning on broadcasting the false and defamatory scenes that were cut from Disney/ABC's error-riddled documentary "Path to 9/11," but Disney/ABC have announced that they have no intention of enforcing their copyright in this matter, and demanding that FOX not rebroadcast Disney/ABC's scenes without permission. In fact, ABC's Entertainment president has said that he believes the already-proven-wrong documentary is 100% factual.

It's interesting to note that Disney/ABC had no problem shutting down a liberal blogger who was concerned about hate speech on an ABC radio station in California. In that case, when the blogger posted hateful content from ABC's radio show, ABC's lawyers got the blogger's site pulled down, claiming copyright infringement. But in this case, ABC is no longer so interested in copyright. Of course, this is the same ABC that keeps a known homophobe on the payroll at "Grey's Anatomy," and the same ABC that has decided to employee another extremist at Good Morning America, a man who has used the word "faggot" on the air, a move criticized by the largest gay anti-defamation organization in America, and a man who has claimed that every Muslim-American needs to prove that they are not working with the terrorists.

It's also interesting to note that this latest controversy is all Disney/ABC's doing. The man who directed the inaccurate documentary has been traveling around the country, publicly showing the inaccurate scenes that were cut from the TV show. Disney/ABC has seemingly had no concern whatsoever that this man has been broadcasting scenes that they intentionally cut from their film. And it was at one of these broadcasts that FOX conveniently filmed what they're going to show Sunday night. Had Disney/ABC not tacitly agreed to let the director show the cut scenes around the country, this scandal seemingly would not be back in the news (except of course for the fact that Disney/ABC is permitting people to post the scenes on YouTube, so they clearly have no desire to control the dissemination of the inaccurate and defamatory information).

2. We need to find out who the sponsors are
and contact them. Boycott their products and write complaints to each and every one of them.

10. Yup. Let's find out just how much Clinton does (or does not) know.
Let's get the REAL story this time. Yeah, let's finally get to the bottom of this.

4. Don't tell me somebody is finally going to SUE these liars
for their libelous rewriting of history! A Democrat with GUTS, who knew?

Remember, they worship money. The point isn't to win. The point is to stand up to a bully and bloody his nose, or make his wallet a bit lighter in this case.

Hoping they get bored and shut down the smear machine just isn't working. Sorry, Mary Beth.

5. Did Bush gave Disney A Big Plug at SOTU ? Possible Disney Anti-Patriotism

Did not Bush, in praising the Baby Einstein company, mention that it had been purchased by Disney ? What is a product placement ad like that worth in in dollars?

What would they pay a president to do that? ...and how would they pay him? Maybe by falsely blaming an attack on a former president instead of the president who ignored the warnings ?

9. I caught a little bit of Fox News today at noon and just happened
Edited on Fri Jan-26-07 05:20 PM by Arkansas Granny
to hear a telephone conversation they had with Sean Hannity as to why he is airing these scenes. You can find it at this link:

http://www.foxnews.com/

Do a search for Path to 9/11 to find the video of the interview.


The interview with Hannity makes it sound as though he is presenting factual evidence.
