CBS Says Decision to Pull "Reagans" had nothing to do with Controversy!

VERY interesting! No wonder CBS tried to foist this politically motivated hatchet job on viewers during November sweeps! Your informative table explains a lot; like why their network newscast has such a liberal slant!!! Thanks for posting!

The really sad thing to think about is that whereas CBS would have shown "The Reagans" only once, Showtime will repeat this vile film 4-5 times per week for several months.

And it doesn't stop there.
Soon VIACOM will distribute this 'bio-pic' on DVD and distribute it to every BlockBuster and Library in the nation.

Then, even more sadly, it will probably be shown to every student in every American History Class in every Junior and or Senior High School for the next 10-20 years!

Geez, this might actually bump showtime's ratings from a
.000002 up to a .000001 share.

Certainly! Actually, I was trying to think of a more catchy way to say it, but that's what I ended up with. :)

Well, I think your wording is perfect.
It's hard waking up, and staying awake.
But it's harder not to.

Ream of paper to print a script filled with lies ... $4.00

Film for the movie camera to shoot the miniseries ... $54,000

Craft service for the cast & crew ... $7,500

Having your hack hit piece film canceled by CBS before it can even air because you angered the Reagan Faithful?

PRICELESS



For Liberal lies, there's the Senator from Malibu. For everyone else ...

The liberal media are shocked and outraged that conservative Americans act just like g----d---- AMERICANS! LOL

It's about time we flexed our muscles. We're going to need to be in GOOD shape come the 2004 election. The only way the Dimwits can win is by defrauding our votes, and we are the only ones available to stop their thefts.

When your mother sends back all your invitations
And your father to your sister he explains
That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you
And the smell of their roses does not remain
And all of your children start to resent you
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned
Have died in battle or in vain
And you're sick of all this repetition
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

When all of your advisers heave their plastic
At your feet to convince you of your pain
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

Now when all the bandits that you turned your other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas and complain
And you want somebody you don't have to speak to
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

[Just thinkin' out loud here. Uh-oh ! That could be dangerous, lol !] ...

Hey, actually that might work out just fine. Raise a stink with them like a LOT of folks did with CBS. Make it an issue. Then they DO show it in it's flown blown BS LIE version with all the ugly stuff. Then folks will see what bunk it is.

And then there's the fact that it will get FAR less viewership than if it were on Can't Be Serious. That CBS backed off is a victory. I'll take it ! ...


CBS will not broadcast THE REAGANS
on November 16 and 18. This decision
is based solely on our reaction to
seeing the final film, not the controversy
that erupted around a draft of the script.
