Concerns Over ABC's 'The Path to 9/11'
Topics: Terrorism
The Left, so enamored with Michael Mooore's creative fantasy, Fahrenheit 9/11, that they accepted it as factual documentary - is apparently undergoing a meltdown over the ABC miniseries, "The Path To 9/11":
As the fifth anniversary of the attacks on 9/11 approaches, Americans are once again facing the horrors surrounding this event, and the ominous portent it conveyed. Yet, for some reason, one group of citizens has chosen to commemorate this solemn occasion by protesting an ABC miniseries documenting the history of this calamity.Newsbusters, goes on to lay out the facts and shootdown the left's errors and outright distortions of truth (some less politically correct folks would call them lies). By the time you sort through the Left's fantasies and the actual facts, you not only go away more knowledgeable of the facts involving 9/11, but also the Left's distortions of those facts.As amazing as it might seem, the top brass in the liberal blogosphere's "Netroots" have been frantically writing the past couple of days about "The Path to 9/11," declaring to their readers that this docudrama is "a piece of fiction," and that ABC's airing it represents "gross negligence."
At the heart of the controversy is the belief universally shared by these Michael Moore devotees that the ABC program in question doesn't paint a very pretty picture of their Hero-in-Chief, William Jefferson Clinton. Yet, it appears that none of the disgruntled commentators has actually seen the miniseries - a fact that some hypocritically suggest represents a part of the conspiracy - and, therefore, are coming to conclusions about the program's contents from reviews by others.
In addition to Newsbusters, there's other informative discussions on the Left's reaction to the miniseries. Some of the better discussions I found include: Flopping Aces - "The Left's Rantings On 'The Path To 9/11', ." Hugh Hewitt - "My Concerns with 'The Path to 9/11'", and INDC - On the Accuracy of "The Path to 9/11".
You'll find the NYT piece that more or less stirred the pot today - here. What all of this boils down to is much to do about nothing on the part of the Left and the NYT (you're right - they are the same, after all), and the fact that the Left just can't stand any criticism of William Jefferson Clinton or his administration.
And BTW, I'll be greatly surprised if ABC actually comes out with anything close to the real truth about 9/11 - facts and truth have never been much of a factor in ABC's reporting, and besides, no one's seen the damned series yet so we just might all be squabling about nothing.
