Disney/ABC must pay dearly. If not, America is doomed.

Update below:



From now until they come to their senses, boycott Disney, ABC and ABC sponsors, and tell them exactly why you are boycotting them.

Booman Tribune: All the Gloves Have Come Off Now

[...]

This is the first time that one of the “Big Three” national networks has lent its name and prestige to what is, in effect, a 4 and ½ hour long infomercial for the Republican Party. It is true that the national news coverage of CBS, NBC and ABC has often appeared to slant in favor the Bush administration’s policies, especially where the “War on Terror” was concerned, but never to this extent, and never so blatantly. With its airing of “The Path to 9/11” ABC is no longer even pretending to exhibit a standard of balance and fairness when it comes to our two major political parties.

In the past, the airing of such obvious propaganda would not have been green lighted, much less produced by any television network. It would have been considered too damaging to the bottom line, too risky. Being seen as the lackey for one party or the other would have been a virtual kiss of death. No longer.

Now ABC is even willing to eat the production costs and forego all advertising revenues that would normally be generated by other programming in this time slot, in order to air this mishmash of revisionist history and outright lies to every television set in America. What could possibly motivate them to do so? Only one thing, in my opinion: that, for whatever reason, they must have struck a deal with the Devil himself.

Update: Senate Democratic leadership threatens Disney with legal and legislative sanctions

This letter was sent today by the entire Democratic leadership of the US Senate. This letter is such a major shot across the bow of Disney, it's not even funny. It is FILLED with veiled threats, both legal and legislative, against Disney. US Senators don't make threats like this, especially the entire Democratic leadership en masse, unless they mean it. Disney is in serious trouble.
