ABC & "The Path to 9-11": Double Plus Ungood
The problem those that oppose the Bush administration have? We read and we make the mistake assuming that others read as well. We publish findings and facts in such "obscure publications" like Time and Newsweek and Newspapers while the Bush administration uses the magical hypno-box: Television. Americans obviously believe that if you see it on TV it must be true, like slaves being freed to fight in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and if the President mentions 9-11 and Hussein/Iraq in the same breath all the time, it must mean there is a connection.
Sadly, a recent survey has shown that 85% of the troops in Iraq do believe that Hussein was in some way responsible for the 9-11 attack, no matter how many bi-partisan committees tell them otherwise. The president says it, he’s on TV, ergo it must be true. What does a written report published by congress matter compared to television?
Now approaching the November elections, ABC seems to be in cahoots with the Bush administration in this latest travesty of truth: “The Path to 9-11”
Further discussion of the “docu-drama”’s gross inaccuracies can be found here.
Folks, God did not give humans brains capable of language and writing in order to have ideas spoon fed to us by a “magical” box of light. If you want to know the truth, go to the source. Don’t watch a show by a corporate entity out to make a sensationalist buck claiming to be based on the 9-11 Commission report but written by an avowed right-winger who is friendly with Rush Limbaugh and admits that critical events in the script were completely invented. Go to the actual 9-11 Commission report, read it and make up your own mind. It’s been out there for years now, only 585 pages and completely free. People pay upwards of eight bucks for novels longer than that. If you can spend time and money reading novels that long, don’t you think a non-fiction work of such importance deserves your time?
Don't listen to the TV, don't even listen to bloggers like me. Go read it and make up your own mind.
