CBS Mini Series on Reagan
self

Posted on 10/24/2003 12:17:08 PM PDT by airedale

Is there a sponsor list yet for this show? I’m sure they’d love to hear how people will respond if they are sponsoring a hit piece on President Reagan and his family.

As I understand the libel and slander laws Reagan is a public figure as such in order to recover damages you have to prove that CBS, the Producers, etc knew the info was false and went ahead and recklessly with the false info. What can be done to maximize CBS's exposure to the Reagan’s and others successful libel case?

Let them know in no uncertain terms that if they run ads during this movie, you will boycott their products.

These people are only interested in ratings week. They feel that if they can get the 30% of brain dead Democrat left to watch they will win their slot. They will then be given all of the necessary acting rewards. Writing the advertisers will not do as much as a BOYCOTT OF CBS for the entire ratings week.

Been listening to some of the dialogue played by Drudge.

Rarely do I have such a visceral reaction to anything on the radio or TV.....

We are so used to the hate rhetoric that even Teddy the swimmer Kennedy can shock.......

That said, these snippets from the Reagan TV series is truly beyond the pale.
