My 2 Cents On The ABC 9/11 Docu-Drama
I haven’t seen it. I can only comment on what I’ve read. There seems to be a lot of posting flurry going on. Plus, it’s been covered by the MSM.
So, I can’t really comment on the actual movie because as I said I haven’t seen it. I wasn’t one of the ones chosen to preview it. I’m apparently not right-leaning enough if what the rumors say is true. I do find it odd that ABC didn’t honor President Clinton’s office’s request for an advanced copy but handed it out to all of those right-wing bloggers. That just smacks of rudeness. I mean, he was the President and the movie is about him.
I have no problem with a movie attacking a former President, even a former living President, as long as it tells the truth and is factual. Even ABC admits that this 9/11 “docu-drama” stretches the truth and isn’t factual; however, they have packaged it as an educational tool for children as if it is in fact a truthful telling of the events as they happened.
Right-winger blogs seem to be interpreting the public outrage against the ABC 9/11 Docu-drama as a political thing, as if it’s all about Clinton, as if Democrats and liberals are all about circling the wagon because Clinton is being solely blamed in the movie for 9/11. Once again they don’t seem to be paying attention. They’re own unhealthy preoccupation with Clintion has kept them from seeing the true problem is the fact that this movie is about lying to the public, an Orwellian refabricating the facts. But then maybe they don’t care. After all, maybe the facts and the truth aren’t important to the right so much as having a President in power and being in control of the facts and the fact-telling.
