FWIW freedom of speech (sp) is absolutely about being able to tell the tale however you see fit.
The problem rests in the separation of, and I use these terms loosely, journalism and politics.
My point in saying this was in dispute to the broadcast "the path to 9/11". It showed characters involved in an administration handling situations falsely, making false comments, and flat out lying. They were wrong...the facts shown were wrong. ABC/Disney, re-shot those scenes. They recognized the false scenarios and fixed them. If they aired them, the audience would be vulnerable to lies and deceit.

Trust me...my one meager attack is far surpassed by this jack offs numerous personal attacks in the On Topic board.
But thanks for the heads up
