Disney Won't Release "The Path to 9/11" on DVD

Disney chairman Bob Iger is taking heat from some stockholders who are wondering why there's no interest in the company's leadership in recouping their costs from "The Path to 9/11":

Disney CEO Robert Iger is defending the decision to not release on DVD the controversial docu-drama "The Path to 9/11." Iger says it was based purely on business considerations and had nothing to do with politics. He did not elaborate further.

Disney owns ABC, which aired the miniseries that lays much of the blame for 9/11 on the Clinton administration.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that Iger was challenged last week at a shareholders meeting about why the company has not marketed the show in an effort to recoup some of its $40 million investment. The questioner accused Iger — who has donated thousands to Hillary Clinton's campaigns over the years — of protecting the senator's presidential efforts — at the expense of shareholders.

And the questioner noted the company did release to video the Michael Moore documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11," which blames the Bush administration for the attacks. That DVD made a profit of $46 million.

Having seen the film, there's no question that a Hillary supporter would try to keep this thing under a rock somewhere. It certainly doesn't flatter the Clinton Administration and Iger probably doesn't want to risk reminding the voters of what they're getting if they elect Hillary.
