Mmmm Hmmm...

[razorback-bert]

They saw Mr. Babs acting and decided to fold.

[Bogey78O]

It had nothing to do with the backlash. Just all them people who were boycotting their advertisers.

Do they have Yogi writing their press releases?

[ClearCase_guy]

Well, of course. These are the people who want us to believe that Global Warming is not caused by the sun.

[smith288]

Then what was their reason?

"Our decision was based entirely on the films innacuracies rather than the controvesry surrounding it." *spin*

[longtermmemmory]

Now Hallmark Entertainment!!!! (they are distributing this abroad)

[Libertina]

Right... but it DID have to do with being a total piece of lies trashing a living President, even stooping to make up "quotes" and scenes.

[Ditto]

Looks like Bob got a job with Viacom's PR Dept.

[eureka!]

Update: Newly hired CBS Spokesman Bagdad Bob released the following statement:

"The support for the show was overwhelming. The American people were writing and calling CBS and their sponsors about how excited they were to see the Reagan movie. CBS decided that Showtime would give the show more exposure due to such popular demand."

[DManA]

I give them credit. The realized they'd made a mistake, and they made a change to correct it. Good for them.

CBS Says Decision to Pull "Reagans" had nothing to do with Controversy!

[narby]

They haven't pulled the show. They only moved it to Showtime.

The heat needs to be kept up on Viacom, and on CBS itself (it's advertizers are still vulnerable to pressure), until this turkey production hits the land fill.

[dead]

They just couldn't win once the script was leaked.

That's great. I love seeing cornered jackasses with no where to hide.

They are going to be getting sh*t from the liberals over this decision for years!

A-ha!

[Grampa Dave]

CBS = Constant BS!

[Reagan Man]

CBS Says Decision to Pull "Reagans" had nothing to do with Controversy!

Sounds like something "Baghdad Bob" would say.

[ctonious]

CBS Says Decision to Pull "Reagans" had nothing to do with Controversy!

I just wish liberals would use more of this kind of thinking when their lives depend on it. Like "Sure - sharks and chum in the water are pure coincidence. And go ahead - jump on that third rail - it's just there for looks. Hey, and there's a thunderstorm...good time to put up that UN flagpole you've been babblin' about."

[longtermmemmory]

Barbara Streisand.

If it was inacuracies why did viacom move it from CBS to Showtime UNCUT?

CBS had nothing to do with this, it was Viacom bosses.

[The Great RJ]

Moving it to Showtime is as good as deep sixing it. Ever look at what's playing on Showtime?...they keep running Water World and other Kevin Costner drek.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

CBS Lamestream Broadcasting Club [ having taken the decision out of the hands of the incompetents at CBS ] Says Decision to Pull "Reagans" had nothing to do with Controversy!

<Fly on the wall microphone:>

"We can't pull it. It might set a <shudder> precedent!"

"No sweat. We just announce that the protests had no effect. The hayseeds will buy that."

"Well then strike the word "protests" and insert "controversy" instead -- just for insurance.

Yeah. Good thinking. The sheeple might stumble onto the truth and make a habit of this, the ungrateful !@#$%^&*s.

[CFC__VRWC]

CBS is trying to cover it's left flank, I see. The liberals are screaming about how they've knuckled under to "censorship."
