14. go back a couple of months...
...to the Repuke outrage expressed to CBS over "The Reagans" (which I saw on Showtime, btw, and found it to be pretty mild stuff).

They knew their boy didn't have long to live, and they were planting the seeds for this week. After the hue and cry over a harmless miniseries, do you think any of our 'fearless' corporate media types would do anything to hurt their 'branding' or, in the case of NBC and MSNBC, cause an impact on their precious bottom line at G.E.?

This is where media consolidation has brought us - don't offend the most vocal because you're scared shitless about your profits. Journalism and honesty are things of the past...
