CBS Nixes Ron Brown Death Docudrama Airs Story with Name Change Instead
Washington Weekly ^ | June 15, 1998 | Carl of Oyster Bay

Posted on 05/14/2015 4:32:53 PM PDT by MeshugeMikey

OYSTER BAY -- On Monday, June 8, CBS became the first of the big three television networks to address key facts about Commerce Secretary Ron Brown's death, a story first reported by Christopher Ruddy in The Pittsburgh Tribune Review last December. The account was offered in the season's concluding episode of "Michael Hayes", a prime time series starring David Caruso (formerly of "NYPD Blue"). The episode so closely paralleled Ruddy's report that it could have been a virtual docu-drama had not CBS decided to drop Brown's name from the production. A CBS source said writers for "Michael Hayes" recently began drawing on real life news events for its plot lines.

Though the episode centered around the plane crash death of fictional Under Secretary of State Margaret Wells, a "Michael Hayes" production assistant told the Washington Weekly that the original script named Brown specifically - but that the name was changed when CBS higher ups "negated" the idea.

Of course, as a keeper of odd knowledge, Mike, you are doubtless aware that “Unsolved Mysteries” with Robert Stack, was forced to cancel an episode on the death of Vince Foster.

And reported on another thread here today, ABC demanded editing authority over a documentary on Clinon and BinLaden and then scuttled it — losing $40 million for its stockholders.

The author, Carl of Oyster Bay, was a regular caller into the BOB GRANT RADIO SHOW.

He'd sometimes come up with some wild, far-fetched stuff, but other times he was spot on. It varied.

Hmmm .... And now Stack is dead. Coincidence?

For those who may not have been active on FreeRepublic.com during the waning years of the Clinton administration, it should be noted that Alamo Girl and many here helping her, gathered volumes of material documenting the Clinton wrongdoings in her “Downside Legacy”, including circumstances surrounding Ron Brown’s death. This material was used in the impeachment process.

If anyone wants to access this material, it is the very first link listed by Jim Rob under “Alliances” with the first of the list being “AlamoGirl.com” on the Free Republic home page at the top of the left side of the page.

Thank you

CLinton be it Bill Clinton History or Hillary Clinton History is as relevant now as it was back when it happened. and perhaps even more important now ,,given hillary’s plan for a run at the Whitehouse

You are more than welcome. That was her purpose, for she and others who shared her vision, saw at the time that the Clintons would not go away easily, but their misdeeds needed to be cataloged for times such as these. You are correct. That info is HIGHLY relevant!

I just looked and realized that I neglected to hyphenate her name on the link properly.

I believe the link should read

Alamo-Girl.com
