I'm ready to "push the button" on CBS. If they air the program with all its malicious inventions and overall tone, I'll delete CBS from my TV and VCR channel selections.

And I've let them know it.

The sale is a paper transaction. This is an effort to salvage the international distribution by HALLMARK (the family UNfriendly company)

Viacom owns CBS AND SHOWTIME.

http://www.viacom.com

The sale is a fraud to fool people.

Simple solution, cancel showtime now.

Did we right wing wackos care about the scenes with Ron Reagan Jr. doing ballet? They could fill the two hours with that, as far as I am concerned.

Sell it, CBS, so I can watch CSI, please.

But that would lead to further cries that CBS had caved in to pressure from special interests.

...if one would so disparage accurate American history as a "special interest".

Even this is bull*hit:

"Newsweek says everything was fine until a New York Times story last month detailed the complaints of conservatives."

The New York Times story detailed the lies and smears that were coming directly from the movie...and it was more than conservatives who complained.

Best way for CBS, or Showtime, to salvage anything out of this would be to very publicly show the film -- being burned!

BTW, am I the only one who thinks that Tom Selleck would make a much better Reagan?

I cancelled HBO because of their leftist propaganda. Showtime has generally been more balanced (i.e., The Day Reagan was Shot, the 9/11 Bush movie, etc.). Time to let them know that if they buy this, I'll cancel them, too, regardless of how much I enjoy Jeremiah and Dead Like Me.

About the only thing dumber than smearing the Reagans that CBS has done is continued skewed news. I'd RATHER NOT!!!

I'm hearing Sci-Fi Channel has the edge.

"...Stars Judy Davis and James Brolin refuse to do any interviews to publicize the program..."

That is so funny, that they are feeling the heat. Barbara Streisand and her spouse must be having great conversations about Americans latest reactions to their behavior/rotten behavior, don't you think? LOL

I want Mel Gibson to make a movie about the Reagans.
