A group of activists has launched an Open Letter to ABC [7] and its parent company, Disney, challenging the network's right-wing bias and factual distortions in its upcoming docudrama [8], "The Path to 9/11 [9]." The open letter includes information about Disney's history of caving to the right [10], the right-wing only marketing campaign [11] used to promote the film, and rebuttals of its fabrications. The New York Times [12] and Editor and Publisher [13] magazine are also reporting on the controversy around the film.
