One reason that might be overlooked in regards to protests and/or boycotts of this false 9-11 Mocumentary is that the nascent progressive grassroots movement must flex it's muscle in order to be taken seriously in the future. Unless corporations, advertisers, etc., understand that crossing progessives will hurt their bottom line, they will ignore us. The anti-Kerry show on Sinclair was a great first effort. Influencing the Social Security debate was another. And this protest/boycott is yet another significant effort.
And it's very important to follow up on threatened boycotts. No more Disney, ESPN, MNF, etc. Unless they see a drop off in ratings, they will continue with business as usual. I'm a big sports nut so this isn't theoretical for me. But I'll find other interests and activities.
