Well, it now appears that no sponsor is willing to get anywhere near this piece of propaganda (from Variety Magazine via Think Progress):
ABC has decided the best sponsor for its upcoming Sept. 11 mini is no sponsor at all.I suspect that "none of it made sense" because nobody wanted any part of ABC's fascist bullshit.
After originally announcing its intention to air "The Path to 9/11" with limited commercial interruption, the network now will air both parts of the $30 million Harvey Keitel starrer without any advertising.
What's more, the Alphabet will potentially limit its backend profits by allowing consumers to download the complete miniseries -- for free -- via Apple's iTunes Music Store. Mini also will be streamed for free via ABC.com, and XM Radio has pacted with the network to make an audiocast of the film available to its subscribers.
ABC Entertainment prexy Steve McPherson said the commercial-free strategy was the most appropriate route to take with this project.
"We looked at different scenarios (and) talked to possible (advertising) partners, and none of it made sense," McPherson said. "This is the most respectful way to present this."
