What would be the point of watching the 911 "mini-series" now? |

I put "mini-series" in quotes because, excuse me...but don't you generally need more than two of something in order to call it a series? Doesn't anyone remember when a mini-series was a six-night event like "Roots" or something? Now we have an over-long commercial split down the middle in hopes that half the audience doesn't die of rock ass just as Monica Lewinsky is informing Bill Clinton that she's invited Usama Bin Laden over to the Lincoln Bedroom for a three way, but Sandy Berger nixes the plan because Hillary was unexpectedly still in town.
But I digress.
Anyway, why would anyone want to see this movie now except for sheer morbid curiosity? Just as a goof, perhaps, like watching "Attack of The Killer Tomatoes." Will the righties still watch it now that it has been totally discredited, the way some of us loved the fictionalized "Marilyn and Norma Jean" just because Ashley Judd portrayed a naked Norma Jean in much of it? IOW, the fantasy is way better than the reality anyway, so let's just go along for the ride?
I'm just curious...why the hell would anyone watch this when they know it is filled with deliberate "dramatizations" of historic events which simply never occurred?

lol.
What makes you think other Americans ask all these questions. We will be lucky if enough of them catch the news before this travesty hits the air to prevent mass brainwashing. And of those some will only catch a wiff of the controversy and just dismiss it as standard politics and sit down and watch the movie anyways.
(disclaimer: I just said in another post that I thought most people would start to see this was a deeply flawed show. The problem is that this story is breaking very close to the broadcast.)
ON EDIT: I didn't mean to belittle you or your opinion, sorry if I come on a little strong headed.

This drek isn't really entertainment, it's fascist propaganda. Not one second can be seen without contamination.
