| The pretend 9/11 |
E&P summarizes ABC's Clinton-bashing ficto-drama on the 9/11 attacks, while the NYT fleshes out the objections to the film's inaccuracies and partisan taint. More on the inaccuracies from ThinkP.
I wonder if the goodly folk at ABC are going to include anything about the lingering illnesses among NYC firefighters and rescue workers?
Meanwhile, a chastened ABC reinstates the blog.
And what of the writer? The partisan Mr. Nowratesh?
Online commentators seized on remarks made last week by Rush Limbaugh, the conservative radio host, who said “The Path to 9/11” had been written and produced by a “friend of mine out in California” named Cyrus. “From what I’ve been told,” Mr. Limbaugh said, according to a transcript on rushlimbaugh.com, “the film really zeros in on the shortcomings of the Clinton administration.”
Reached Tuesday, Cyrus Nowrasteh, the film’s screenwriter and one of its producers, said he had met Mr. Limbaugh on the set of “24,” the serialized thriller on Fox.
“I met him briefly,” Mr. Nowrasteh said, declining to say if the two men were close. “And that’s it.” I wonder if that passing meeting took place during a certain Viagra run to the Dominican Republic...?
