Path To Propaganda

Pangloss62 · 09-09-2006, 10:40 AM

I don't know about this upcoming miniseries on ABC called "The Path to 9/11." I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems there were way too many Christian weirdos behind its making. Check it out:

I see no point in watching it since I saw the first run production in it's entirety.

Saw the first episode of ABC's "The Path to 9/11". Everything in that first episode should be well known facts to everyone here. The only surprise to me was that Diana Deans was white.

As it so often the case, where failures happen, top management somehow is more worried about themselves then literally putting themselves on the line for the working people - the people with 'dirt under their fingernails'. Even problems of legality verses objectives were properly vetted. But again, if any major event in that first episode was unknown, well, start looking at your news sources. That first episode was accurate.

Meanwhile, I viewed it from an informed position. I just wonder how many will have seen a different story due to not knowing those so many underlying and background stories. How others respond and perceive this 'commercial free' broadcast should be an interesting experiment in perception.

I just want to know how *I* can get in on the moneymaking gravy train for 9-11 nostalgia. Doesn't seem right for the movie studios and TV networks to be raking in all the bucks for themselves. I wonder how long before the 9-11 video game and lunchboxes are available?

I still think that hole would have made a good baseball stadium. If government gives corporate welfare to the Yankees, then what could be a better gift? Don't we call them "Memorial Stadium"?

I can't relive that. I pass right by the rebuilt side of the Pentagon twice a day as it is.

And I question the motivation of the production.
