I remember the furor over ABC (IIRC) showing "the Day After" about the midwesst after being devastated by nuclear bombs. Everybody was upset - can't show the consequences of losing the cold war, can we?
And how the star of "Amerika", Kris Kristofeson (or however you spell it) went to Moscow to protest the showing of that mimiseries - although I'm sure he was handsomely paid to be it's star. Can't show scenarions of a Russian takeover either.
in both cases, the left was beside itself.
Nowadays, in all cases, the left will be beside itself. The reason is called: Bush and the legacy of winning.
To the left, the USA doesn't even come close to tenth in their priorities.
I sincerely think that the left has no "USA" in their priorities, not even their thoughts. Unbelievable!
