Sure looks that way. Krempasky thinks maybe they’re not cancelling the program altogether, just pushing it back a few weeks, but why would they do that? Unless the edits are extensive, they might as well cash in on the controversy and 9/11 anniversary and air it as scheduled.

Of course, they could just pull it altogether. Would we better off? JPod’s seen it and calls it “a stiff” while the Chicago Tribune’s TV critic labels it “the most anticlimactic, tension-free movie in the history of terrorist TV” and, for good measure, “the dullest, worst-shot TV movie since ABC’s disastrous ‘Ten Commandments’ remake.” If you’re wondering what political page he’s on, this might clue you in:

Look, there’s a security guard yawning while terrorists plant the 1993 bomb at the World Trade Center. How dare a security guard work while tired.

Oh, hey, there’s an airline agent checking in a 9/11 terrorist even though he has a carry-on bag. Stupid airline agents.

Excuse us all, writer Cyrus Nowrasteh and director David L. Cunningham, for not acting like Hitler Youth in the glory days before ordinary Americans knew commercial planes could be turned into missiles.

Idiots.

The Times thought it was fair and balanced, though, which pretty much confirms Time magazine’s assessment yesterday that the program’s much harder on Bush than on Clinton.

Elsewhere, an ABC News team recently purchased 1,000 pounds of explosives and smuggled it within a half mile of the White House. They really are trying to win the lefties over, aren’t they?

Update: Pull the miniseries, threaten ABC, snap up domain names that might be confused with the film’s website and redirect them to the DNC webpage.

We’re dealing with five-year-olds.

Update: Clinton on truth.

Blowback
