Please contact your local CBS station to thank them |
|
for running "9/11," the real documentary, in its uncensored entirety — even if they ran it after prime time.
If they chickened out, contact them about that, too, the weenies.

God knows I signed tons of petitions and sent a lot of emails regarding the crap ABC is showing; it's always a good idea to hand out kudos when they are deserved.

No editing for " language" here, my friend.
Good for CBS!

4. We did too, on the SF and Monterey affiliates |
|
But each station can decide whether to air something in its network time slot or later, or not at all. It's not a regional thing.

5. What do you mean by "full" version? |
|
What was missing from some?

6. I didn't say 'full version' |
|
I said "uncensored entirety," as opposed to not running it at all.

7. My husband and I watched the CBS... |
|
...9/11 program.
We initially sat down to watch "Path to 9/11", but we were captivated and so emotionally taken in by the CBS show. We started flipping between ABC and CBS.
There was absolutely NO doubt that CBS's amazing documentary--based on fact and produced with a tremendous amount of courage and integrity--took viewers away from ABC.
As my husband said, "People are going flipping back and forth--just as they do every night. If someone watched ABC for a bit, then flipped to CBS--ABC lost those viewers to CBS. No contest."
It is so true, what my husband said. In their desperate attempt to make their "mocudramentary" look like a documentary, they bounced the camera around so much and constantly jerked in and out of scenes. It didn't feel authentic. I literally had a headache (and probably whiplash) five minutes into the program. It really was awful.
Kudos to CBS for a quality program, and also for another effect---taking viewers away from the trash on ABC.
