ABC...easy as 123...so simple as doremi...

Ahhh....the incredible lightness of being lobotomized! ABC's Stephen McPherson receives this week's "Numbnuts of the Month" award (if you caught the contradiction, you get a gold star!) for advancing the cause of assholiness in media:

AMERICAblog: A blog for a great nation that deserves the truth

[ABC Entertainment president Stephen] McPherson said the network "loved" the film and stands by it. He also denies that it was irresponsibly fictionalized or at all driven by any campaign to distort the facts.

"Everything in that movie is backed up tenfold," he insists. "We think it was a really important thing to air. And you know, it's unfortunate that, for other agendas, people tried to squash it." When it was pointed out that ABC tried to backpedal with its last-minute alterations on 'Path to 9/11,' McPherson shot back, "We didn't backpedal. 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 (former National Security Advisor for the Clinton Administration) Sandy Berger telling you about what's truthful or not when he was indicted for stuffing documents into his pants on this very subject."

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I don't believe Sandy Berger was ever indicted for anything. And an ad hominem argument is a logical fallacy even if the Beltway Gods belch it forth.The film's portrayal of Berger's "Bin Laden Moment" is utterly false and, in a just world, defamatory. I dearly hope Clinton sues them down to their frilly unmentionables.
