CBS: 'REAGAN' FILM WAS BIASED

**Exclusive**

CBS head Les Moonves made the ultimate decision to pull THE REAGANS off the November schedule after concluding the film was "biased" against the former president, top sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

"It just doesn't work," Moonves told staffers in a bold move of conscience. "Listen, we are not afraid of controversy, we'd go out there if it came in at 50-50, pro and con, but it simply isn't working. It's biased."

Moonves, a self-described liberal Democrat, on Tuesday took full responsibility for canceling the movie, sources tell DRUDGE. "He made up his own mind after seeing it," a top source said.

Addind to this thread, blog (heh), here are links to more pummeling that CBS has received lately from the VRWC, this time from homeschoolers:

CBS Evening News did a two-part hit piece:
A Dark Side To Homeschooling, part 1, 10/13/2003
Home Schooling Nightmares, part 2, 10/14/2003

A few of the responses:
CBS warns of homeschooling's 'dark side' Joseph Farah, 10/15/2003
The Dark Side of CBS, Joseph Farah, 10/16/2003
CBS Needs Education on Homeschooling, Marc Morano, 10/16/2003
CBS: Continually Biased Shows, Kyle Williams, 10/18/2003
Sponsor Pulls Ad from CBS News After Homeschoolers' Complaints, Marc Morano, 10/21/2003
A Defense of Home Schooling, Hans Zeiger, 10/21/2003
The Dark Side to CBS, HSLDA, 10/23/2003
Washington Times editorial, 10/24/2003
CONGRESS Sends Letter to CBS, 10/27/2003

And it goes on and on. And that's nothing compared to every homeschooling network/mailing list that I'm on, and that I've heard of. And these people know how to write letters. (and so do their kids)

p.s. homeschool's dark side (parody site)
