The New Blacklist: ‘Kennedys’ (Miniseries) Pulled Due to Surnow’s (conservative)Politics

Andrew Breitbart Presents Big Hollywood ^ | 4/4/11 | John Nolte

[Dr. Scarpetta]

The Kennedys miniseries was supposed to be on the History channel but ended up on the little-known Reelz Channel. The Kennedys and other liberals accomplished that.

It will be repeated Sat. & Sun at 2 pm ET/11 am PT on Reelz Channel. You can catch up on episodes 1-6.

The conclusion will be on Sunday at 8 pm.

I have episodes from 1-5 now. It’s also available on bittorrent for downloads if anyone is interested. Just finished part 1 and will go thru it all by the weekend. Tom Wilkinson, the Brit actor who played Joe Wilson never lets me down.

I didn't even realize I had the Reelz Channel until this controversy started.

Sorry but the First Amendment has absolutely nothing to do with this. No government city, county, state or federal had anything to do with the History Channel pulling The Kennedys. The History Channel simply made a business decision.
Did the History Channel cave to pressure. Hell yes. But they are not the government. Only government can censor.

I didn’t realize I had Reelz either.
Enjoying it. Looks like Emmy material..no wait.
Libs would never stand for that.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Tell that to Glenn Beck. Continue giving in to the communists every time they whine about something and conservatives won't have a voice in this country anymore. EVERYTHING will be "censored". All we will get is the propaganda that the communists want us to hear. Sort of like what is going on in our public schools and universities right now. Do you think Surnow would be allowed to speak at one of those "institutions"? I don't think so. NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY!!!

The series has been watchable thus far; Wilkinson is outstanding as Old Joe. Kinnear is doing well as JFK, Barry Pepper is great as RFK. Katie Holmes is pulling off the Jackie visuals quite well, but her Boston accent comes and goes without warning.

Overall, it’s been a pretty decent watch.....

I never realized how much of an immoral scumbag JFK was.

No they wouldn't. Young people should watch this miniseries.

Wilkinson is really outstand as Joe. What a despicable human being he was, and he raised JFK...

Rose Kennedy and Jackie went through a lot...

“Katie Holmes is pulling off the Jackie visuals quite well, but her Boston accent comes and goes without warning.”

I may be wrong, but I don’t think Jackie ever had a Boston accent; I believe it was an upper-crust accent from somewhere else — maybe European?

Pulled because of political viewpoint or low ratings?

It wasn’t getting very high ratings. The channel it appeared on isn’t even on my cable.

[Mach9]

If this is the Conservative version of the Kennedys, I wonder what the Liberal version would look like. Bobby comes off looking like a combination of Thomas Aquinas, Machiavelli, and Napoleon, the savior who’s almost never, it seems, out of the oval office—JFK’s conscience, most trusted and valuable advisor, militarily as well as politically. LeMay’s portrayed as pompous hawk, constantly bested in strategy and bon mots by both brothers. And that’s just for starters.

It was pulled from THE HISTORY CHANNEL because liberals fought it, and it ended up on the Reelz Channel. No one else wanted to show it. Thank liberals for that.

I agree with you in every detail except this is not a First Amendment issue.

Same as a cafe posting a sign saying “No Guns Allowed on the Premises” is not a Second Amendment issue.

Joe Kennedy was truly one of the most despicable men of all time. His manipulation of the press was extraordinary and was certainly instrumental in establishing the Pravda reporting that is now prevails in the MSM. At the time of the Kennedy election, the head of Readers Digest(at that time considered quite conservative)later admitted that he had been co-opted by accepting a home loan, I believe, from Old Joe. In return, the Readers Digest ignored a lot of the unsavory facets of the Kennedy clan.
It was a tale undoubtedly repeated over and over until now we have a press that is deaf, dumb and blind except for their ideological talking points delivered from above...and the worst thing is that they think they are objective and unbiased and couldn't be convinced otherwise.
