. THEY C-Span, last night, showed a somewhat unusual presentation during which some of the cast, writers, and producers of the television show "24" were interviewed and then asked questions by their audience. The "24" people seemed somewhat petulant, but what the hell......they're not supposed to be intellectual giants - they just manufacture entertainment. I was surprised that the words "truth" or "muslims" were never mentioned, and I remembered with annoyance how they had started out really great by including both "truth" and "muslims" in their once still accurate and therefore fascinating representations, which then, suddenly, ceased to be accurate and fascinating, after which I stopped watching what had become just one more vacuous show. Finally, someone in the audience sort of indirectly inquired about this, after which a member of the "24" panel sort of indirectly explained the show's changes with this utterly amazing and highly troubling sentence: "We took a meeting with CAIR." I knew without knowing, that this is what occurred, back then. But it's still hard to believe that our arrogant producers and directors are such profound cowards, that they would allow their productions to be straightjacketed by "A meeting with CAIR" =======
