so much for "freedom of speech"...

"The Path to 9/11" is looking a lot like "The Reagans, Part II."
Bill Clinton loyalists are demanding wholesale changes to the upcoming miniseries -- and while ABC is making some snips, the alterations, insiders say, may not please the Dems.
But a bombshell decision may happen anyway: Sources close to the project say the network, which has been in a media maelstrom over the pic, is mulling the idea of yanking the mini altogether.

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.

Relevance is irrelevant
I don't want to comment on whether or not this is a freedom of speech issue, but I will say that our rights issues are only going to get worse. So... get used to.

grossly inaccurate
Shockingly, the network is also planning to use the program as a teaching tool through Scholastic, potentially misinforming thousands of children about the most important event in recent American history.

? The show threatens to end the careers of numerous politicians by displaying inaccuracies in a show that is designed to look like a documentery. It makes some incrediable assumptions about what happened, with absolutely no proof to back it up.
What if a show was made that displayed YOU as an incompetant loser, and aired it as a documentery on national television? Would you not be incrediably pissed off? Well, it is 100x worse in this case, because it is blaming 9/11 on Clinton.
