MSNBC just had Merv Griffin on and he was veeeerrry unhappy on this upcoming show. Stated to write CBS and complain. I say...add the sponsers to that objective.

After watching Merv Griffin on Scarborough, I wrote a lengthy letter to CBS and joined up with the Boycott CBS group, who's founder was also on Scarborough yesterday.

This movie has received better publicity than any amount of money could buy. People who would have never even considered watching will be tuning in - I know I will. Its gonna get boffo ratings. And I have a feeling that the overwhelming majority won't see anything wrong with it. No doubt the makers are already editing out anything they feel goes a little too far. I can imagine them though laughing with glee behind the scenes at all the headlines this has caused - that's good news for them. I agree, from what I've read this does seem like it will be a slanted, melodramatic account in the vein of 'Mommie Dearest'. And if it is, I can understand people taking offense considering Reagans health and what Nancy is currently dealing with. For most sheeple though I think it will seem like making a mountain out of a molehill. For me, its just another example of the left-wings divorce from reality. But I'm sure that in no time this campy film will be forgotten. It will have no impact on the legacy of Pres Reagan.

Now those demons can't even contain themselves until the man is in his grave to revise history. Such impatience.

I just hope all of this pre-broadcast criticism doesn't cause CBS to avoid a public relations disaster. It's the subtle shading and half-truths that get by unnoticed-I like it when they go whole hog with a whopper that even offends my cocker spaniel.
In December of 1994, ABC News (P. Jennings) did one of those year-in-review snippets where they reviewed the obits of famous people who died that year. When it was over, my NINE YEAR OLD son said, "Dad, they missed Richard Nixon". I haven't watched ABC News since.

What the GOP needs is to retaliate with a miniseries of BJ Clinton.

Ah, let 'em air the crap. There's no way its gonna be good so we have more to gain from the backlash of it being bad. Boycott the sponsors after it airs. After all, the sheeple don't really get their history lessons from tv movies...um...do they?

" Longtime Reagan family friend and TV host Merv Griffin was perhaps the most vehement.
He called the series a "cowardly act ... the most cowardly thing I've ever heard," he told MSNBC on Wednesday.
"Is that what the 'C' in CBS stands for?" Mr. Griffin asked.
"

Right on, CBS does indeed stand for Cowardly Bull S#i+!

Fools must surely be running that nitwork.
