Republicans are arguing this "docudrama" just as much. Apparently, the first part bashes Clinton and the second part bashes Bush. I watched the first part tonight and found many flaws....hardly enough to not air it all together. But to credit the left side, they made the argument and had it fixed as far as extream lies and false tales go....no I did not like the Osama kill that never happened, but as we all know, it's much more complex then what 10 minutes of primetime mini-series can show. Lets see what tomorows part has to show about bush...Im not supporting this broadcast, but I'm not knocking it. I feel that the proper measures were takin...if false facts have been shown, you can damn well count on reporters to report it the next day.
As far as this topic goes, freedom of speach is one thing, having power over a massive audience while telling blatant lies, is another....FOX News

Yeah I've been paying attention to this the past few days. I am absolutely loving hearing Clinton and his compadres bitch and moan and cry about this :rofl: Please note how Hillary hasn't said a damn thing...it's way too close to 2008 for her to stand up for her husband and get involved in something that people might perceive her poorly for.

The last statement in particular. It brings to mind the big Mohammad-cartoon thing. Technically, they were allowed to publish it...but do you really want to be an asshole? That newspaper lost a lot of respect...
...and in the same way, ABC will as well. The reporting of it has already happened. In fact, most people are probably watching it for that reason...to see what the big deal is. So, in an essence Clinton has already got what he sought.

Enough about FOX News already. I get it...you do not like them. They portray the "OTHER" side of the story about what is going right in the world and do not bow to the liberal ideaology. Just because it does not fit with your views does not make it incorrect.

If a thread as simple as this can become mired in semantics it's a wonder any TV show with any political message ever gets air time.

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.

But thanks for the heads up
