ABC pushes Republican propaganda on high school students

This is really getting out of hand. ABC is now pushing its Republican propaganda on 100,000 school teachers and giving away the "docudrama" on the prelude to 9/11 to anyone who knows how to download. This is pure Republican propaganda. It falsely claims Clinton is responsible for 9/11 and portrays Bush as the great hero who saved the country. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is a blatant attempt by one of the major TV networks to usurp the election by throwing all its weight to one party. This is a total misuse of the public airwaves and a completely irresponsible use of ABC's powerful position as a major source of news.

ABC is planning a massive free distribution of its planned docudrama The Path to 9/11, including sending letters to 100,000 high school teachers encouraging them to have their students watch the series. Variety magazine reports:

[ABC is] allowing consumers to download the complete miniseries — for free — via Apple’s iTunes Music Store. Mini also will be streamed for free via ABC.com, and XM Radio has pacted with the network to make an audiocast of the film available to its subscribers. […]

To spread the word about “Path to 9/11,” ABC is sending 100,000 high school educators a letter from 9/11 Commission co-chair Tom Keane informing them of the various platforms on which the mini is available. ABC and Scholastic have pacted to produce an online study guide.

If you weren't prepared to boycott the network before, seriously consider it now.
