This was my point last night - this is not a true "win" for us; the crap will still air, just on a "sister" network -- one without sponsors that can be influenced.

By shifting to Showtime, Viacom still gets to have their cake and eat it too.

CBS is not necessarily the enemy, in and of themselves -- Viacom is.

Sumner Redstone (Viacom CEO) needs to have his feet held to the fire.

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

totally disagree with you there...CBS was forced to yank it. Many Americans will ultimately cancel Showtime if they air it. Net result, we have spoken, show was yanked. Got alot fo bad publicity, exposed liberal bias in Hollywood, and showed the nation that conservative voices are a force to be reckoned with.

"This was my point last night - this is not a true "win" for us; the crap will still air, just on a "sister" network -- one without sponsors that can be influenced. By shifting to Showtime, Viacom still gets to have their cake and eat it too."

Not really. Even if the show had aired on See BS and had been the lowest-rated of all broadcast network shows for the week, it would still have been seen by several million pipple. And it would have appeared on a "rated network."

Now, it's going to appear on what is, largely, an "un-rated" network where its eventual audience will likely be only a few hundred thousand, if that. This is a very large victory for the Rebel Alliance and a big defeat for the Dark Side of the Force.

Remember that Showtime is a "Preemie" - a network one must pay to receive. The vast majority of "Murrican Households" don't pay to get Showtime.

This is all VERY good news.

I will say that it's a partial victory in the sense that by not airing on a major network, it doesn't get confused with the historical record. That was the danger. People would have seen the movie and said: "Guess what I heard about Ronald Reagan? I heard that he called himself the antichrist."

With Showtime's audience, this stinker will be long forgotten.

But it's audience will be much smaller than that on SeeBS. The pool of subscribers to Showtime is smaller than the number of folks who just get SeeBS on their antennas or basic cable.

I'm *so* glad that .45MAN and I do not have any of the "movie" channels due to our 3-year boycott of Hollywierd.

More people need to cancel these channels - you are only supporting the cr@p that comes out of the clueless left coast.

I partially agree that this is not a true win. While they are still airing it, their audience has been drastically cut. How many people do you know that have Showtime. I wasn't aware that CBS had any part in Showtime; now for sure I will never subscribe to it.
