Although CBS has shown the Naudet brothers film, "9/11", twice in concert with previous anniversaries,
CBS is killing or delaying showing this movie this year because of concerns about profanity.
What's profanity, one must ask? Words deemed to be obscene in normal, day-to-day conversation -- but used and depicted in real life in a situational crisis?
Or the secondary promotion of a competing, bastardized piece of propaganda on another network by killing/delaying a much better and TRUE piece of cinematography?
I vote the latter; this is an obscenity, a concerted effort to promote partisanship by removing the truth of 9/11 to a later time or altogether.
There is no way that any film of the true events at and around Ground Zero can be profane.
Propaganda promotion, however, by way of fraudulent storytelling is utterly profane.
If there's precedent for showing the Naudet film, I don't see how CBS can say they have genuine concerns about showing it a third time on the anniversary date. Unless the point is really something else altogether.
We really must make one of the first items on the agenda of the 110th Congress -- with a Democratic majority -- the return of the Fairness Doctrine, as well as a review of the effects of broadcast media consolidation since the late 1980's. I am sick and tired of the real obscenity that happens every day, the use of publicly-owned airwaves against us for the purposes of partisan promotion. This bullsh*t that CBS is pulling is merely another example of backscratching by partisans, and it's got to stop.
