Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Will ABC fold in the face of threats?

Now Harry Reid has joined the Clinton forces to frighten ABC. Will they be frightened? If so, it will be to the country's shame. This is not Iran, Harry. Jee whiz, even the left-wing NYT calls the film "evenhanded."

To me, this smells of totalitarianism, and is extremely creepy.

Contact ABC and tell them to tell the truth without fear or favor. NBC proves here that the Clintons dropped the ball with Osama. How, besides declining opportunities to kill Bin Laden? Well, these things could have caused some concern.

why ahs ABC decided on a two-tier release for this series??

first to the DNC for comments,
and then to the public?

one can't help feeling it's
nothing more than the media (ABC in this case)
ridinga tabloid-mentality,rake in the eyeballs,
bear-baiting,public-hanging,
popcorn concession.

"fix the problem,not the blame".

to call it "broadcasting in the public interest"
let alone as a "public trust"
is a stretch i'm unwilling to grant them.

how is pre-screening for the DNC
"independent journalism"??

a poster on Roger Simon's blog,"Cap'n Billy"
pointed out Hugh Hewitt had mentioned being one of 900 people to receive a pre-release set of videos.

in addtion,the poster pointed out if
ABC is persuaded to edit out parts(kinda late now one would think),*the un-edited,pre-release videos will be all over the internet shortly after the screening on TV*.
