Ruth Marcus, columnist at the Washington Post gives the ABC Fraud-u-mentary the treatment it deserves, the raspberries. The mini-series was so full of fiction and half truths that it is impossible to catalog them all in this space. Unfortunately, she notes that 1.5 million copies of the 9/11 Report were sold, but 13 million viewers saw this crap.
Even with poor ratings ABC has colored the reality of millions with its lies, and the producers, tied to fundamentalist Christian groups, have achieved their goal. They have distorted the truth and reframed reality to fit their vision of the way things should have been. Never mind that Bush was asleep at the wheel, never mind that Bin Laden was never "in the sights" of CIA operative awaiting word to kill from Clinton, never mind that American Airlines didn't knowingly let a flagged passenger aboard their flight. Truth be damned, when you are waging a holy war.
The Christian Jihadists rarely deal with truth, and this show is another piece of evidence of that sad fact.
