So, turns out, ABC covered for Bush
See HERE

Now if memory serves.... Eisner was the head of Disney and Disney owns ABC....hmmmmmm wasn't there some movie that Disney/ABC was involved in....some political type movie....


Let's see it wasn't that horrific piece of CYA blame-the-predecessor "Path to 9/11" no they not only bought that but they aired it on network TV

No it was a movie that SOME PEOPLE SAY was critical maybe even harsh in regards to the Bush administration and Bush's history... Eisner wouldn't distribute it and Miramax ended up with it making a boatload of money off it....


Let me think.... :think: OOOoooh I know I will google "highest grossing documentary of all time"

2. Yes.
And I recall that ABC was in the toilet in ratings - trailing everyone else - and then magic poof they got all better, right about the time they became best buddies with bushco.

6. I'm sure that LOST helped, but I think they got help from other quarters too.
The telecommunications industry and the huge corporations that run it benefited greatly from the Bush White House. They aren't journalists. We don't have a free press. It's owned by corporations that make sure their toadies get "elected" and do their masters' bidding.

A few huge corporations run the world. We are the resistance.

6 minutes, 36 seconds in- there's a shot of the banner i made and took to dc, and ended up at the front of the march from dupont circle to 14th & K streets in dc on coronation day 2001...

9. I had to STOP watching Good Morning, America
late in the fall of 2001 because Charlie Gibson was so partial to the * admin. Diane Sawyer lobbed softball questions as well, but Charlie Gibson was definitely a * admin cheerleader......
