Hypocrisy of the highest order
Edit: This miniseries is fucking 5 hours long???
May 7, 2004: On the television network that his company owns, Disney CEO Michael Eisner dismissed the idea that forbidding Disney subsidiary Miramax to distribute a controversial new documentary by Michael Moore was a form of censorship. "We informed both the agency that represented the film and all of our companies that we just didn't want to be in the middle of a politically-oriented film during an election year," he told ABC World News Tonight (5/5/04), referring to Moore's Fahrenheit 911. (emphasis mine)
Of course, now Disney's ABC wants to air "The Path to 9/11" that rewrites the 9/11 Commission Report and wants to lay the disaster that was 9/11 solely at President Clinton's feet. Totally not George "The Pet Goat" W Bush's fault. No, no, no. (Glenn Greenwald demonstrates how this is utter, complete crap.)
The more I've found out about the "Path to 9/11" the more I have to fight the urge to hurl and catch the next flight out of a country that would produce and air blatant neocon propaganda made out of thin air, nevermind that they want to package it as "docudrama" (now with disclaimers!). It's a 2-part miniseries that is nothing but a 2-hour political smear ad against dems, history revisionism, and a gift to the current administration. Disney, fuck you. FUCK YOU. My hatred for you has only grown and grown the more I learn about your hell-spawned company. I will never, ever raise kids on your crap.

I've been steaming over this the last few days - literally too mad to do anything. That has stopped. I'm emailing everyone I can on this handy contact list provided here.
