Democrat queen Barbra Streisand is in a Daschle-like snit over CBS's decision to dump its vicious miniseries "The Reagans" into the lap of Showtime. "Indeed, today marks a sad day for artistic freedom - one of the most important elements of an open and democratic [sic] society," said Malibu Barbi, whose hubby, James Brolin, stars in Viacom's $16 million embarrassment.
Of course, Babs and the other self-styled defenders of free expression wailing over the demotion of "The Reagans" were failed to support Dr. Laura Schlessinger from left-wing attacks and boycotts that forced her off the TV airwaves.

You forgot "MEGA BARF ALERT". It's implied by including Streissand in the title.

Wait, I get it, I just reread the article. It's just every time I see the name Barbara Streisand, I think "BARF ALERT".

You forgot "MEGA BARF ALERT".The word "Streisand" was in the title...I believe that it is an appropriate substitute.

Viacom is dumb. If they want to make up their money, sell this to the Bush-hating crowd on DVD at $25 a pop. It will bomb on Showtime. But there are enough irrational hateful liberals out their who could care less whether this is true, as long as it trashes the great conservative. Liberals need fiction to rationalize their hatred.

"Indeed, today marks a sad day for artistic freedom" Why? The producers were free to make the movie and CBS was free to air it. But the latter chose not to do so, as a business decision.

Gee, it hurts when the shoe is on the other foot. I'm sure Dr. Laura must be enjoying her revenge today. What goes around comes around and there is no right of free speech in the private sector. The First Amendment only forbids the government from interfering with freedom of the press. It doesn't tell businesses and individuals what they are and aren't allowed to read, hear, and see - it leaves it up to their judgment. I'm afraid Babs is in need of a history lesson.

See what I mean? It didn't take long, folks! I'm listening to Mark Larson (of San Diego's KCBQ) doing a mock reading of Ms. Streisand's (over-the-top) statement. This is great.

Its absolutely sickening that these people don't want to support democracy and the voice of the people. We're not asking the government to pass a law banning a Reagan mini-series. We're not asking the Judiciary to create a Reagan Right to Privacy. We're just telling CBS that if they air it they'll lose us as customers. Basically CBS is supplying a product and we're telling that if they do we'll not demand anything else from CBS anymore. Supply and Demand. Liberals think everything they utter should be forced to air on everyone's televisions. This is as sickening as Hitlery coming out and saying that the Electoral system needed to be done away with.

It's a 'Sad Day' When You Can't Attack the ReagansSure, you can attempt to smear our beloved ex-president while he's on his death bed, freedom allows you to do this. Freedom also allows us to counterattack, and you had better have the stomach for it. In this case, you came up short.

Now CBS is saying that they dumped the film because it wasn't any good, not because of public pressure. Uh huh.

The word cartoon is quite appropriate.
