Remember how CBS pulled the Reagans? ABC did no such thing

[boolean]

I think that speaks volumes about the influence conservatives have on the media.

The Reagans had one fucking disputed line about AIDS and the network did NOT show it. (And it's been a long known FACT that Reagan wasn't sympathetic to AIDS victims)

But liberal outcry from hundreds of thousands of bloggers, prominent Democrats, and even the former president of the United States did not persuade ABC to pull this bullshit movie.

Liberal media? Where?

1. They Were All Pissed Cuz It Made Ronnie Look Like The Dufus

he was.

The Reagans was more about them as a couple a....love story of sorts. Nancy was controlling, and Ron was kind of a dufus. They were in love, even though it was somewhat dysfunctional at times... but hey that happens all the time with many a marriages. This movie was no big deal!!!

This is the republican owned corporate media minimizing democrats and liberals. We don't go to mega churches and do what our pastors, radio & TV personalities and politicians tell us to do - we don't vote...like Wes Clark recently said "getting a bunch of Democrats to agree is like herding cats"

The pukes on the other hand come out in massive numbers, mostly though church places like Focus On The Family & Family Research Council. They claim to have had 79 million people tune into Justice Sunday II. When they call for a boycott and letter writing campaigns, their herds respond in huge numbers, time after time.



On "Justice Sunday II - God Save the United States and This Honorable Court!" -- a live nationwide television simulcast produced by Family Research Council and Focus on the Family Action -- Jackson joined such Christian right luminaries as Tony Perkins, president of the Washington, DC-based Family Research Council, Dr. James Dobson, the founder of the Colorado Springs, Colorado-based Focus on the Family, rejected Supreme Court nominee Robert H. Bork, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), former senator Zell Miller (D-Ga.), Prison Fellowship Ministries founder Chuck Colson, and Eagle Forum President Phyllis Schlafly.

While the telecast may not have actually "made its way into 79 million households in 50 states" as the website of the Family Research Council claimed, there were a goodly number of people tuned in. As the Washington Post reported, viewers from coast to coast heard Jackson tell the 2,200 (mostly white people) in attendance that the "Christian community is experiencing a new unity around the moral values that we share because of common faith." Jackson also pointed out that appointing judges who will strictly interpret the Constitution is advantageous to blacks: "If justice matters to anybody in America, it matters to minorities and to people who have historically been at the bottom of the barrel" who will not have "to deal with a maverick judge changing the law at the last minute."
