It sounds as if nothing can fix this hit piece, short of scrapping it and starting over, with a new script, a new director, a new leading man, and an entirely different point of view.

There's no way CBS can sweet talk their way out of this. I will be waiting for the list of sponsors, and I will boycott every one of them.

"there are some edits being made trying to present a more fair picture of the Reagans".

A "more fair" picture is hardly a "fair" picture.

So there are some edits being made trying to present a more fair picture of the Reagans.'

Did he actually find something complimentary about Reagan in it? Can't let that get aired!

Just what do you expect from the Communist Broadcast System?

This smearmongering has been their modus operandi for years. The only thing a conservative can do is boycott CBS and the poor suckers(company advertisers) who pay for the lib trash.

The Communist Broadcast System runs a close second to the Ole Gray Ho (alias The NY Slimes).

CBS .... whose anchor [seeking the frequency of murder and terror] has NEVER, NEVER, NEVER
looked happier than being his with Castro

If CBS got to choose between Castro, their hero, and Pres. Reagan, America's hero,
who do you think that would they force on America?


Dan Rather [seeking the frequency of murder and terror]: "Mr. President, if only you knew how
much I and others at CBS suport you rather than our unelected Bush"

Butcher-Terrorist Saddam: "Mr, Rather, it is absolutely remarkable that you media girly men
will repeatedly betray the USA, your President, and even the American people during war
for so little. We usually must gang rape a man's children and his wife, then burn and mutilate them
and then electrify his testicles and even cut off a few fingers before
he betrays his people. We, Baathists are very lucky to have your American media, Dan."

It's gonna be incredibly humiliating for Moonves. And the great thing is that I will be giving him EXACTLY a taste of his own medicine. After next week, Moonves will become the nation's laughingstock. HEE! HEE!

Seems to me CBS is getting the 'message'. I wonder just how far they will go to save their skin. It is going to be very interesting to watch the progress of this scenario.

I've never seen Dan Rather looking so happy. Normally, when Rather smiles, it is a tight nervous smile. But in this pic with El Commandante, Rather has an open carefree smile of absolute LOVE.

p.s. I don't know about Blather but after next week, Les Moonves ain't gonna be smiling for a long time. HEE! HEE!

Yeah. It will be a surprise. It will be more fun that way. All that I ask is that my Fellow Freepers send out the link. HEE! HEE!

NBC, CBS, and ABC network news, programming with a message, and political propaganda with the socialist's touch is just too much for my blood. The networks' programming and news slant is always one sided, and has been since the 1960's.

There are other choices for news and entertainment. I made mine more than 10 years ago. My CBS-NBC-ABC boycott means I do not and will not endorse their programs, their advertisers, or their point of view. With the availability of cable, satelite, and the internet, I learned that I haven't missed a thing by my not watching the networks.

As many are pointing out, Drudge had a dozen or more offensive/inaccurate clips on Rush's show last week - there is no way they can take out all of the propaganda and still have anything left.

I don't trust CBS. I have no plans to watch "The Reagans."
