Miami Herald TV critic Glenn Garvin is blogging from the annual Television Critics Association tour, and found some hot talk in recounting the Clintonista war against ABC's movie on 9/11.
Asked during his appearance on the TV critics' tour if he was embarrassed that the network had to "backpedal" on its Clinton-unfriendly movie The Path To 9/11, [ABC programming chief Stephen] McPherson took no prisoners -- particularly when it came to Clinton's national security adviser Sandy Berger, one of the film's chief critics. "We didn't backpedal," McPherson said. "We aired the movie. We didn't change anything for those guys. We aired it as planned on the dates that were planned. I mean, it's a little odd to have Sandy Berger telling you about what's truthful or not when he was indicted for stuffing documents into his pants on this very subject."
That's a little too hot, since ABC did change a few scenes in response to the Clintonista campaign. They did edit down scenes where the Richard Clarke character talked of Clinton's impeachment, and a scene where the Berger character hung up on the CIA, refusing to grant permission for an attempt to take terrorists out. But the McPherson quote certainly succeeds in turning your head. Any bets the Clintonistas start making phone calls again?
By the way, did you see Mark Steyn's funny Berger song lyrics?

I guess he needed a thirteen
January 15, 2007 - 17:42 ET by ucI guess he needed a thirteen to sixteen sock instead of a ten to thirteen. Ah! the missed the boat Clintonites. Before you go and make bergs in the sand I guess it could be wise to make sure your sole isn't separated from your mind especially the law and order, checks and balances, justice for all, mind. Hillary do you argue that your sole didn't have its full two terms in office already? God bless separation of church and state not mind and body america.

I hope Hillary Cliton isn't a biblical worthy character we are supposed to avoid at all cost to all human beings that believe in a holy and indivisible soul.

Is it possible that a vote for Hillary is likely to divide a woman's soul too much from it normal thinking as to create an unleven generation? Just puzzling poetic justice.

Maybe better to be "right" ahead, than "left" behind >> aren't holy scriptures most about evolution and not devolution?

To the world is flat experts I now ask for conclusive decisions that our current President's policies are not actually necessary and maybe only separation of church and state moral thing to do necessary policies towards keeping economic world flat and just. ???

Brings a new meaning to the brand "Dockers". If Berger had just worn cargo pants, he could have cleaned the archives out...

January 15, 2007 - 21:39 ET by pbthinkerDoes anyone wonder about the lack of "intellectual curiosity" on the part of the MSM in this case? What documents were destroyed? Why were they destroyed? Would it make a difference, in President Clinton's legacy, if we knew what the documents said? Did the documents refer to advice that was given or did they refer to comments made about the advice? Who looked bad Clinton or Berger? Who's story would have to be altered if these documents were not destroyed? I'm not a reporter, and I don't play one on television, but those are some of the questions I have.
People say they had notes in the margin of the documents.

One of the notes, it is rumored, say's to the effect:
"Let's see if we can 'pump' this up to show how we were tough on terrorists."
