Kos at dailykos and Justin Rood at TPM Muckraker have good posts on the ABC 9/11 mockumentary.
Kos reports that "Educational media giant Scholastic, Inc. announced it's dropping its original classroom companion guides to a controversial new docudrama, and replacing them with materials stressing critical thinking and media literacy."
He reminds that CBS yanked it's broadcast of "The Reagans," after getting a barrage of complaints.
Justin quotes an ABC News spokeswoman: "ABC News did not participate in any way in the production of this movie," Cathie Levine told [Justin] earlier today. In fact, she said, the news division didn't even let the production use its file footage, following ABC News policy.
