Artistic freedom? I am coming more to the view that in a time in which artistic freedom means anything goes, [Britney Roto-Rootering Madonna in front of 10 million people] the world is filling up with chin-dribble...

Freedom and license are two different things. The license to lie and distort cannot be defended as "freedom."

That by the way is why Holocaust denial/revisionism is illegal in some countries. Holocaust denial/revisionism is a dirty business with an evil intent.

Knowing what I know about Hollywood, I know that Les Moonves knew exactly what he was getting, as this movie had to be in development for over a year. Under any other circumstances a whole chain of people at the network (and the prod. co's) would lose their jobs over a debacle like this one. We'll see if the Libs protect their own now.

Me too. I have one film project presently in "pre-production" that has been "in development" since 1996!

And of course "'artistic' freedom" is not license to lie and pervert and libel, slander and distort.

Unless you are Al Franken, Mick Moore, Mrs or Mr Babbsy Streisand, Hitlery KKKli'toon, any other damned "DemocRAT" -- and/or Moonves.
