Readers of the major blogs will have seen this connection by now, but it's worth highlighting in this forum since it involves two of the betes noires on this blog -- apparently 'Path to 9/11' was put together by an amalgam of two right-wing Hollywood mole groups, one run by David Horowitz, another by elements of the Christianist movement.
Poor ABC/Disney, on the other hand, appear to have "Punk'd" -- inadequate oversight, together with an underestimation of the bile the right is capable of, allowed the right wing to use ABC as its bullhorn, with probable damages both reputational (that Disney broadcast right wing propaganda directly before and intended to influence an election will be remembered for the next century, harming their clean-Gene reputation with the public and, as noted in the just cited piece, undermining their copyright lobbying, which relies on some presumption of responsible stewardship) and financial (see immediately below).
. . . or maybe it was a deliberate case of marketing synergy.
