We Know it's a Lie, But ...

Here's a big surprise for you: Sean Hannity of Fox News is going to feature the deleted portions of "The Path to 9/11," a made-for-TV docudrama that aired a few months ago, on his show "Hannity's America." I guess he has his own country, so he can do whatever he wants. Never mind that the deleted scenes were pulled specifically because they were inaccurate; they help deflect blame for 9/11 from President Bush and place it all back on President Clinton. And never mind that former national security advisor Sandy Berger said the unedited film "flagrantly misrepresents my personal actions," and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said it was "false and defamatory." Fox News and Sean Hannity know the material is dishonest, but they want their loyal right-wing viewers to see it anyway. The propaganda must go on.
