Under growing pressure from politicians, bloggers, pundits and letter-writing concerned citizens, ABC/Disney is considering pulling its historically flawed Sept. 11 miniseries “The Path to 9/11,” according to Variety. Go, net roots! Updates:

  • Scholastic withdraws support, won’t distribute movie materials to schools
  • The Senate leadership threatens Disney with legal sanctions
  • Watch conservative pundit Bill Bennett denounce the film
  • Watch a conservative 9/11 book author slam the miniseries’ inaccuracies, too

  • Variety:

    “The Path to 9/11” is looking a lot like “The Reagans, Part II.”

    Bill Clinton loyalists are demanding wholesale changes to the upcoming miniseries — and while ABC is making some snips, the alterations, insiders say, may not please the Dems.

    But a bombshell decision may happen anyway: Sources close to the project say the network, which has been in a media maelstrom over the pic, is mulling the idea of yanking the mini altogether. Link
