I wrote the other day that I thought the president's speech was a bad idea, and in fact it may have given ABC cover to chop more content out of the movie that the Dems objected to. That's too bad, but in reality, whatever gets cut out will be seen by many, many people thanks to the internet and the preview copies that were released when the show was still five hours long.Originally, TV listings showed Path to 9/11 as being commercial free for three hours tonight and two hours tomorrow night.
Now ABC's web site shows tonight's episode as only 2.5 hours, followed by a special 30 minute Nightline (no doubt with many Democratic guests.)
Likewise, tomorrow's episode is only 90 minutes, having been edited for President Bush's speech.
That makes an hour of originally scheduled content now gone…
Meanwhile, Nightline will do their best to undo any damage to the Clinton administration done by this film.
