CBS caved to right-wing pressure on a "Reagan" TV-movie a few years ago |
|
I recall that there was a big outcry by conservatives about a TV-movie about St. Ronnie and CBS caved and ended up showing it on Showtime (or some other cable network) rather than on CBS. I hope that Democrats and other believers in truth will have the same pull with ABC and that they pull this distortion of history.
I believe it was in 2003 and had James Brolin playing Reagan and conservatives were up in arms.

1. Yes, because the RW pressure came in the form of threats to pull CBS |
