CBS to 'BS' Viewers About Reagan

When CBS announced earlier this year it was producing a television movie on the life of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, warning flags shot up. The part of Mr. Reagan was given to none other than James Brolin, husband of Reagan-loathing Democratic diva Barbra Streisand. The producers, Neil Meron and Craig Zadon, freely acknowledged their liberal views but insisted the biography would be fair.

[Pharmboy]

Well done, John. They are beyond despicable.

Chris Matthews on hardball is nailing CBS on this. He is really p!ssed off.

I hope this doesn't make it on the air.

[Ronin]

This crap is going to backfire in their faces. Reagan is deeply beloved by Americans and they are going to be furious at this hachet job.

[ladyinred]

I have emailed every department at CBS about this outrage.

[kennedyd]

So now it's "Gipper: The Rise of Evil"?

[MJY1288]

Relax my fellow Americans

You and I know the Truth!

Chris isn't pissed off, he's just providing cover for the libs.

I agree with your sentiment but whether Reagan is loved is not the issue, it is whether the truth is being told. It is not, and that lack of truth should bring the outrage.

It's not CBS...it's SeeBS!!

And for the New York Slimes to call some sceens "historically questionable" - what's up with that? What's going on with the Slimes?

It is very important not only to email CBS, but also let your local CBS affiliate's General Manager know that you will be DELETING that affiliate's Ch# from your tv listings set-up.
CBS has a page listing every affiliate in the USA and a clickable url.
I posted it in another thread, and will try to find it and repost it here as well.

It's important that we scare not only "BlackRock" in NYC, but also the local affiliate GM whom TPTB @CBS truly listen to.

Maybe you should find out who the sponsor's are?

This was my note to CBS:

"When CBS announced earlier this year it was producing a television movie on the life of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, warning flags shot up. The part of Mr. Reagan was given to none other than James Brolin, husband of Reagan-loathing Democratic diva Barbra Streisand. The producers, Neil Meron and Craig Zadon, freely acknowledged their liberal views but insisted the biography would be fair. Now the New York Times has obtained a copy of the final script and, sure enough, the film includes several scenes that the Times calls "historically questionable."It is pathetic that the one time "Tiffany Network" would produce then broadcast crap like this. You know you are in trouble when the NYT is voicing their opinion against liberal work. And "trouble" is what you will get as we WILL be protesting outside your studios when this garbage is put on our airwaves!

Did anyone notice the WSJ spelled "Barbra" incorrectly??

[Libertina]

Barbra spells Barbra incorrectly. Figures.

[auzerais]

Here is the CBS page which list all the local affiliates's homepages:

Be sure to let the affiliates' General Managers know that you will be DELETING their Ch# from your tv listing set-up.

[God luvs America]

Really...is that the way she spells her name?? Shows you how much I pay attention to that b!tch!!

[KC_Conspirator]

Joe Scarborough spent time on this as well. Liberals once again making up history.

[Libertina]

LOL Shows us how much attention SHE pays to spelling ;)

[CyberAnt]

And .. I continue to maintain .. THEY ARE OVERPLAYING THEIR HAND.

Paraphrased from a poster on another thread:

"If Mr. Barbra Streisand is playing Reagan, this time I'll be rooting for Hinckley."
