Remember...CBS caved to the righties re: the Reagan miniseries.

[ourbluenation]

When CBS announced in November, 2003 that it would broadcast a mini-series it produced about Ronald and Nancy Reagan called "The Reagans," Matt Drudge obtained excerpts from the script and published them. That led to right-wing bloggers, organizations and pundits, along with the RNC itself, demanding that CBS cancel the broadcast, which it did (moving it instead to Showtime, with a panel discussion afterwards filled with critics of the film).

Those who wanted the mini-series cancelled back then were making arguments which are highly relevant -- for reasons that are self-evident -- to ABC's plans to broadcast an indisputably fictionalized mini-series about 9/11, a film which includes exactly the fabricated dialogues and historical events which served as the ostensible basis for outrage over The Reagans:

1. Yeah but all the big Conservative baddies are lined up for this one

With Limpballs and all the other Repuke pundits on their side ready to slash them if they concede?

They will air it like stations aired that whole Swift Boat crap. Guess what they are afraid of the conservative nutjobs.

They are NOT afraid of us.

2. Did they use the Reagan show for school propaganda?

That is my main objection. Using Scholastic to tie it to schools with lesson plans..

Using 9/11 for propaganda is evil enough.
