If you recall, one of the biggest achievements of the Netroots since its conception was getting ABC to scale back its lies and stopping Scholastic from distributing guides to the deceitful drama. Apparently, the fight isn't over yet.
Just got this email from the Center for American Progress Action Fund:
Last September, you helped expose inaccuracies and partisan misrepresentations in ABC's controversial docudrama "The Path to 9/11." This Sunday, Fox News' Sean Hannity is planning to broadcast the fictitious scenes that ABC found unfit to air.
As you may recall, one of the outtakes featured a conversation where former national security advisor Sandy Berger refuses to approve a CIA request to attack Osama bin Laden - an event that the bipartisan 9/11 Commission confirmed never occurred.
It's one thing for Fox News to provide their usual biased political commentary. It's another thing to promote discredited fiction as news. We need you to stand up for the truth.
Write Sean Hannity And Demand That He Tell America That This Never Happened!
According to his executive producer, Sean Hannity and Fox News "feel the American people deserve both sides." We can only assume that the producer means fiction vs. fact. It's our obligation to stand up for the facts. ABC Television omitted certain scenes not because they were partisan, but because they were blatantly untrue.
Fox News and Sean Hannity have a right to be partisan and express their own opinions. However, if they want to claim that they're journalists, they have an obligation to report the truth. It's time to step up the pressure on Sean Hannity and Fox News.
Write Sean Hannity And Demand That He Tell America That This Never Happened!
This Sunday, we'll watch Hannity's America so you don't have to! Check in with ThinkProgress.org for the latest on this story and to see if Hannity responds to our requests.
Thanks so much for your continued support,

You know the drill - we need to bombard FOX and Sean Hannity's voicemails TONIGHT - this junk apparently airs this Sunday! We cannot sit idle and let a disgraceful man and a disgraceful network spout out lies that have proven to be not true.
Here's the number to call and give them a mouth full: 1-888-369-4762
Update: I should also include the embedded link in the email that I got that allows you to write to Sean Hannity. Click here.
