CBS just spent $9 Million to produce a 4 hour miniseries on the Reagans for the November sweeps. And this week, they canned it. Apparently, if you believe the network execs, this decision has nothing at all to do with so-called "conservative" initmidation, the talk radio claims of bias, rabid calls for a boycott, letters sent the network's top 100 sponsors, the nat'l GOP chair weighing in that it was an "unfair portrayal", etc., etc. They aren't influenced by politics there at CBS, no sir! What proud journalists they are!

It goes without saying, of course, that none of the critics have actually seen the program. That kind of thing isn't necessary for folks who already know that liberals run the media and are trying to besmirch every good and decent thing left in this country. And there's only like 3 or 4 good and decdent things left. One'a them's a'Reagan. *misty eyed*

To be clear: people who support of Reagan with this kind of fervor and mania have already demonstrated a willing separation of their "belief" system from the petty influences of reality. I was just a kid when Reagan first took office (and the son of two honest conservative parents). But before he was out, even I could tell he was off, and I wasn't even in high school yet. I've been annoyed since then to see his ongoing deification in action. Trickle-down? StarWars? Iran-Contra? Hello!?!
