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.
Meanwhile, REAGANS producers are feeling great disillusionment with CBS and the entire series of events, it has been learned.
"We got a call from a midlevel flunky at CBS telling us to get it ready for SHOWTIME," reveals a source close to the production team of Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.

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)
