Digby: The Catapault Malfunctions

CNN just reported that the ABC event movie, "The Path To 9/11" had 13 million viewers compared with CBS's 10 million for the third repeat of it's 9/11 documentary and football won the time slot with a strapping 20 million viewers.

When they look at the numbers closely, I think they will show an ABC audience that shrank tremendously within the first 15 minutes. This is not because it was politically sensitive but because it is one of the most tedious, incomprehensible pieces of garbage they've ever broadcast. A bunch of advertisers must be breathing a sigh of relief this morning that they hadn't been talked into blowing any money on it.
