They claim not be involved. This is the response I got from Hallmark (followed by my original complaint letter):

Thank you for contacting us with your concern. This gives us the
opportunity to provide you with correct information.

Hallmark was not involved in the production of "The Reagans" miniseries
airing on CBS and is not a sponsor of the program. By virtue of its
international distribution network, Hallmark Entertainment, Inc.,
distributes many films produced by other companies to international
audiences, and this movie will be one of those. We suggest you relate
your concerns about the program's content to CBS at 212-975-3247.

We want to emphasize that Hallmark is not producing or sponsoring "The
Reagans" movie. We appreciate the time you took to share your views,
and will pass them along for consideration.




Original Message Follows:

---

Message: I understand that Hallmark is a sponsor of "The Reagans" hit
piece potentially to be aired on CBS in November.

How can an ostensibly family-friendly company such as Hallmark can have
anything to do with such an awful smearing of one of the USA's greatet
presidents ever?

If this piece airs under Hallmark's anem I will never by another
Hallmark product!

Man, does that look like a serious attempt at glutious-protectus

Did you really send such a horribly misspelled letter to Hallmark?

Spell checker works.

Goes to show you the true colors of CBS for sure. I refuse to buy anything advertised on that statation as it is and we all should continue with this pratice and let the advertisers know you refuse to buy their product.

<< By virtue of its international distribution network, Hallmark Entertainment, Inc., distributes many films produced by other companies to international audiences, and this movie will be one of those. >> Who does Hallmark think it's dealing with, here? Self-appointed lunatic left-wing-fringers? Motion Picture Production/Distribution is a warp and a weave and one cannot hold together without the other. "Liberalism" is a psychosis. And Hallmark is full of it.

Minute Gal got a similar response. How Clintonesque. They're not sponsoring, just distributing. Morons. Like Middle America is going to be so dumb they'll see a difference. Sheesh.

I think the confusion came because of a website touting upcoming CBS specials and mentioned some Hallmark production ALONGSIDE the Reagan movie. I read the website myself and it was confusing. But I never saw the Reagan movie mentioned in any of the official Hallmark websites.

No, they're not sponsoring the drivel, Their distributing it. That's even worse, they are the enabler here, with out them this movie would never be seen. Boycott Hallmark!
