I heard earlier on the Larry Elder show that Ass-ner blames President Reagan for the cancellation of his show, "Lou." Here are a couple tidbits I found on the web ---

November 9th, 1981
The Screen Actor's Guild, under president Ed Asner, votes money for unemployed PATCO air traffic controllers fired by (former SAG honcho) U.S. president Ronald Reagan.

1982
Politically conservative Hollywood actors led by Charlton Heston break with the Screen Actor's Guild and form a rival group called AWAG (American Working Actor's Guild). They were angered by SAG president Ed Asner's taking their union into politics by condemning Ronald Reagan's policies in Central America, capped by the SAG board refusing Reagan (their former president) the Guild lifetime achievement award. Asner's hit TV show "Lou Grant" lost sponsors and was cancelled.

Ed Ahole. Ed Ahole. Ed Ahole. Ahh. Lou Grant lost his show because of liberal mental handicaps. Boo-hoo.
