CBS's Attack Has Nancy Reagan in Anguish

Nancy Reagan is in anguish over CBS's miniseries "The Reagans," says close friend Merv Griffin.

"I talk to her quite often," Griffin said Tuesday on MSNBC, the New York Post reported today. "She's hurt.

"Here is a man who is on his deathbed. He's in the last stages of Alzheimer's, and a woman who has been sitting by the bedside there holding his hand for nine years," said the TV big.

"They can't fight back."

Maybe Mrs. Reagan can't fight back, but I can.

It's too bad Maureen Reagan has passed...she'd be kicking a** and taking names right about now! My perception is that Ron Jr. and Patti are real wimpos next to her.

People who climb out of the sewer to spread their prverted lies have no moral restraints.

And the people who assist them in their efforts are of the same breed.

The Left doesn't care about threats.. They rely on the "milk" of politics.... MONEY!

I hope good people will join with the Reagan's in the biggest defamation suit ever in the US.. and let them mortgage their socks to pay damages..

I know this is a duplicate article and before it gets pulled I vow---to

I will boycott every advertiser on CBS. I can't boycott CBS because I don't watch CBS. Unless that is where Joe Scarbough Country is, because I will continue to watch Joe and I just know which channel. Every product, that I'm aware of, that advertises on CBS, will not be purchased with my money.

We don't watch CBS at home because the reception is lousy. How convenient for me!

The stress of the CBS debacle plus watching the flames get so close to the Reagan Library could have put Nancy into serious health problems.

Prayer bump for Nancy Reagan and the President.

This thing is going to happen. Like the LA Times, CBS has weighed their political obligations versus their professional integrity and decided that the political objective is more important right now. Like so many others on the Fringe Left from individuals to activists, newspapers and networks, reality is merely a subjective aspect of 'the now' with no thought given to the consequences later. "We'll fix it all later," seems to be the rationalization for their policy of destruction now. The list of their sacrifices is endless:

1. Objectivity and integrity of the Press sacrificed to political attacks, mudslinging, and historical revisionism.

2. Congressional representation sacrificed to political partisanship.

3. Judicial integrity sacrificed to ideological agenda.

4. Economic prosperity sacrified to political expediency.

5. Individual sovereignty sacrificed to collective bargaining.

6. Environmental protection sacrificed to bureaucratic authority.

7. National defense sacrificed to presidential politics.

CBS will do this. They have committed to it. Perhaps they'll pay for it, but it will not really hurt them and they know it. But, we can nevertheless send a message that will be heard eventually. CBS, ABC, NBC... there time is through. They have degerated into ridiculous satirical caricatures. Rather, Brokaw, Jennings are exposed as clowns, along with the biggest clown of all... Cronkite. Don't think they don't know it. And the next time some Leftists simp tries to play the 'no media bias' card, stuff this example into their mouth along wrapped in a copy of the LA Times.

Please remember to tell CBS that November is sweeps month and if this miniseries is run, you will continue to boycott through the month.
As well as their cable affiliates.

"The Library, although once in the fire's path, has come out of this event unscathed thanks to the excellent job of the Fire Fighters who helped control the situation here at the Library."

With the guidance of a Greater and Wiser Strength. May He also protect the Fire Fighters. Mrs. Reagan must know there is a greater plan and put it in His hands.
