I think we're going to see a lot of cheap shots between now and November. It's going to be interesting....

I'm a big fan of alternative history, but it usually shows up in the libe under Sci Fi.. Invasion of Space lizards in 1942, South wins the war,... en.wikipedia.org But this is getting passed off as the historical version. Revisionist history. Aimed at luring viewers from Faux. Would you expect less from Disneyland/ABC. Feed us a lie often enuf, and it becomes the truth. Scholastic Pulls 9/11 Classroom Guide By TSC Staff 9/7/2006 4:58 PM EDT Scholastic (SCHL - commentary - Cramer's Take) pulled its online materials posted in support of ABC's "Path to 9/1l," the terrorist-attack docudrama criticized by former President Bill Clinton. New York-based Scholastic said it will replace the yanked material with a new classroom discussion guide focusing "more specifically on media literacy, critical thinking, and historical background." Congressional Democrats have urged Disney's (DIS - commentary - Cramer's Take) ABC to cancel the miniseries, calling it "a work of fiction." ABC issued a statement saying the production was still being edited and that criticism of the film's specifics were thus "premature and irresponsible," Reuters reported. Chronicling events leading to the Sept. 11 attacks, the movie suggests the Clinton administration was too distracted by the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal to deal properly with the gathering threat posed by Islamic militants, Reuters reported. "After a thorough review of the original guide that we offered online to about 25,000 high school teachers, we determined that the materials did not meet our high standards for dealing with controversial issues," Scholastic CEO Dick Robinson said. Scholastic said it still believes the program "can provide a springboard to discussion about the issues leading up to 9/11, terrorism and the Middle East." thestreet.com
