This mea culpa from Bernard Shaw is meaningless. The entire editorial staff and on air personnel of CNN should get on live television and admit that they viciously slanted their coverage becuase of liberal bias and they should further confess that on every major public policy and foreign policy issue of the 1980s that they were wrong and Ronald Wilson Regan was right.
Like a mountain that is obscured by a dust storm Ronald Regan's historic achievements in winning the cold war and turning around the economy are becoming obvious to all but the most fanatical liberals. The pygmies at CNN are now saying that they should have reported that Regan was a nice guy and a clever raconteur. This is a joke and an insult
Chill! That is simply never going to happen. Grownups, and those who are boomers that simply aged like those at CNN don't fall down and prostrate themselves like you are calling for. Its unreasonable, and counterproductive to think in those terms. This is a huge victory, for them to say that means they are thinking that in those editorial rooms. His affect on so many is making them question themselves, that is all one could ever hope for.
The Gipper won them over in the end.
