ABC sets ad-free '9/11'
'Path' is clear of commercials to varied outlets
By JOSEF ADALIAN

ABC has decided the best sponsor for its upcoming Sept. 11 mini is no sponsor at all. After originally announcing its intention to air "The Path to 9/11" with limited commercial interruption, the network now will air both parts of the $30 million Harvey Keitel starrer without any advertising.

You have to subscribe to Variety to get more than that.

I want you to keep in mind that American's religion is Capitalism. And I want you to remember that this movie cost $30 million dollars, God knows how much six hours of prime-time broadcasting nationwide cost, and they're NOT TAKING COMMERCIALS?

Can't find sponsors? Or it's fully funded and so doesn't need sponsors?

This is the same ploy as Sinclair Broadcasting tried with the Stolen Honor "documentary." The one that was all lies.

This six hour mini-series is no more or less than a HUGE donation to the Republican National Party. A six hour advertisement. One which, apparently, is as false as Stolen Honor is.

Think Progress has one of those email forms to scream on ABC, if anyone is interested.
