Lions Gate Pushed Aside By Big Studios in iTunes Movies Launch?

So, whatever happened to Lions Gate (LGF)? The company whose executives "leaked" weeks ago that it had a distribution deal to be part of iTunes' movie sales was not on the meager list of suppliers announced this week by Apple (AAPL). What happened?

Lions Gate and other independents should be racing to Cupertino to get slotted. After all, Netflix (NFLX) will tell you most of their business is in "long tail" titles, and the makers of those films should be eager for, and fast to act, to take advantage of additional distribution. Frankly, I'm a little surprised the indies aren't already in Amazon's (AMZN) Unbox service.

Open letter from David Brock to ABC/Disney

I'm writing today in response to ABC/Disney's decision to air the miniseries The Path to 9/11 despite its false, partisan representations of actual events and individuals.

It seems clear that this miniseries, written by an avowed conservative activist, was created with a partisan agenda in mind. The miniseries' lead security consultant, a former FBI agent, quit in protest early in the production because of the inaccurate representations and other errors in the script. After production, review copies of the miniseries and screening invitations were sent out to right-wing media outlets and conservative bloggers, but when Democrats or liberal organizations requested preview copies, they were met with silence or stonewalling.

Media Matters for America and other organizations provided extensive coverage on the miniseries' deep flaws, and thousands of individuals reached out to your network to urge it to edit or delay airing such partisan propaganda until it accurately reflected the historical record.
