Another Victory for Mockudrama

On the cover of the Chicago Tribune's "TV WEEK" is found a free advertisment for the abortion that will be "The Path to 9/11." The cover copy reads:

ABC airs factual mini-series that points fingers and names names.
------------------------------------------------
The accompanying article, written by Zap2it's journalistic heavyweight Jacqueline Cutler, never mentions the controversy surrounding the project, and IMO NOT because of the early deadline necessitated for Sunday inserts (as Internet and print sources have been clamoring about this for weeks - not days). This piece is designed to be read by Idiot America - the sheep who never read the Perspective or Op/Ed pages, who grow weary of "controversy." They need their faux history spoon-fed to them. These are the same lemmings who get their "world travel" fix by visiting paper-mache recreations of Lake Como, Venice, Paris, NY, and Rio...
I had high hopes for a Democratic takeover of the legislative branch of the government, but those hopes are fading fast in the face of the mainstream media's efforts to support the status quo. The nuance of what ACTUALLY happened in the months and years of build-up to 9/11 has no chance when put up against "intrepid FBI agent John O'Neill" (a fictional character played by Harvey Keitel) "who since the first bombing of the Twin Towers was determined to nab Osama bin Laden."

Let's wait for "The Path Not Taken: Post 9/11" that covers Bush disbanning the bin Laden task force, attacking Iraq based on lies they created, torture, illegal wire taps.... The list goes on way too long.

Too bad it's not ready to air on Tuesday.
