I didn't hear anything about Spike Lee's left wing roots when he came out with his Katrina movie.

"'''claimed he had no previous knowledge of the institutional right-wing ties of The Path to 9/11's creators."

Do the creators of every OTHER show that is produced undergo a background check for "institutional left-wing ties"?

Hey Max, try this on for size.

It's not whether the facts of The Path to 9/11 are correct, it's the seriousness of the charge.

outlining the involvement of that film's screenwriter and director in a concerted right-wing effort to blame former President Bill Clinton for allowing the 9/11 attacks to take place

Like such blame would be difficult to place. He was President during the growth of Al Qaeda, he did fail to respond appropriately to attacks on the world trade center, the USS Cole, the US Embassies, etc, etc, etc. Those are facts which exist independently of the "Path to 9-11".

The whole article is obviously damage control spin, nothing more. It even uses the old standby "un named sources". It will be interesting to see what the named sources, such as the producer, the director, and the head of Disney, have to say.

I have to think that John P. O'Neil came off as the only government operative who didn't have their head up their @$$ . He came off as the hero of the mini-series . To bad he had to die .

"Please do everything you can to spread the word about this excellent miniseries," Murty wrote, "so that The Path to 9/11 gets the highest ratings possible when it airs on September 10 & 11! If this show gets huge ratings, then ABC will be more likely to produce pro-American movies and TV shows in the future!"

Encouraging people to watch...whay an appalling tactic....

Look how they cast conservatives as far right radicals - not the mid-America heartland we really are.

Attempting to show the liberal extreme bias and lies as the truth again.

Exactly, so now that Sid has exposed some Hollywood Conservatives, can I expect him to do the same to the "few" Hollywood Liberals?

This guy was all but foaming at the mouth, he blamed them all, lumping in Christians AND Joooose.

"I would love to see the similiar homework go into the people involved in....."

Look here.....this site is undoubtedly a LOT of the reason they try to hit Horowitz so hard:

http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/default.asp

The site is made up of two principal data elements along with a powerful search engine to locate and explore the information stored. The first of these elements is a database of PROFILES of individuals, groups and institutions, which can be accessed through the heptagram on the home page, or the DTN DIRECTORY on the navigation bar. The PROFILES provide thumbnail sketches of histories, agendas and (where significant) funding sources. More than 1,500 such groups and individuals have already been delineated in the PROFILES sections of this base. The information has been culled from public records readily available on the Internet and other sources, whose veracity and authenticity are easily checked.

The second data element of this site consists of a library of articles, which analyze the relationships disclosed in the database and the issues they raise. These analyses are drawn from thousands of articles, both scholarly and journalistic, that have been entered into the base and linked in the RESOURCES columns that appear on the PROFILE pages. The judgments that inform these analyses are subjective, reflecting informed opinion about the matters at hand. In every case possible, their authors and sources are identified so that users of the database can form their own judgments and opinions about the reliability and value of the analyses.

"Of course, only those on the left are allowed to write screenplays."

Like "Death of a President," a left-wing film about the assassination of a sitting president which, evidently, Clinton attended in Toronto as part of his birthday celebration.

This article and its author proves just how dangerous the left in this country has become.

There were those on radio and TV over the last few days who were there during the 90's...and said the series was right on the money. Anyone who watched was rivited...it was hard hitting, well done, and uninterrupted which made it work....well done ABC..well done. You pleasently surprised us all.

"Notice the classic Clintonite tactics. Do not address the points just attack the source."
___________________________________

Some things never change.

On Michael Medved yesterday he interviewed the director and he said because of time constraints they only showed Berger not going ahead with killing or capturing Bin Laden one time, but it was more like 8 or 9 times. He was questioned by a caller and indicated his sources were individuals who were there, a CIA operative and the guy carrying the nuclear football.

Anytime we see liberals shown in a bad light in any type of entertainment format it's stunning because it's so rare.
