Unfortunately, no. They would have lost had this monstrosity aired as written. The backlash would have knocked them back to the heyday of Ronbo's popularity.
Now, they'll forever be able to claim that they were censored and that the truth was suppressed. Six months from now, nobody except Freepers and a few others will remember the truth. We should have let them hang themselves instead. That's always the most effective means of getting rid of your enemies.
No, I think this is the best of both worlds -- we caved in the leftist suits at CBS, and the unmodified hatchet job will be on Showtime, but now it's tainted goods. And I for one plan to drop Showtime from my cable package right after it airs.
They can claim all they want, nobody's listening. The fact is they officially conceded the bias , pulled the show, and were forced to eat most of the 9 million they poured into it. If thats not "losing", I dont know what is.
