In the end, this is another victory for the folks, not for the political ideologues. CBS could not care less if a few million conservative zealots object to a program. But when the wind shifts and the fire of indignation starts taking hold in the minds of everyday Americans who value fairness, then CBS and every other media outfit must care. For if they ignore those alarms, they will surely go down in flames.

*SNICKER* So much for conservative media...

Do you think CBS would have financed a movie about the Gores written by Rush Limbaugh? Of course not

Not really a good analogy because a show about Gore written by Limbaugh while not flattering would not have contained out rights lies and would have been historically accurate

was mocked in a network docudrama starring Pamela Anderson as Monica Lewinsky.

A. Rosanne looks more like Monica than Pamela does.
2. Bill would ask to play himself.

And lets not forget a couple of others theleft went after - Tom

Anita Bryant, Florida Sunshine Tree girl WND

In the 1970s, former Miss America Anita Bryant was the official spokesperson for the Florida Citrus Commission, hawking the well-known line: "Breakfast without orange juice is like a day without sunshine."

Expounding family and Christian values, Bryant became embroiled in a battle against homosexual rights in south Florida. She helped repeal a 1977 gay-rights ordinance in Miami-Dade County, but the fight took a toll on her professional career. Her status as spokeswoman for Florida Citrus ended in 1980.

In the 1990s, homosexuals put the squeeze on Florida Citrus after radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh was named as a spokesperson for orange juice. They objected to a staunch conservative as national pitchman for the beverage, leading to a "Flush Rush" campaign. Some restaurants were documented dumping orange juice down toilets in response. While Limbaugh's on-air popularity has skyrocketed, Citrus Commission officials opted for a less controversial figure – actor Burt Reynolds.

It is simply astounding that some people are spinning the Reagan movie controversy as a censorship issue.

He forgot his < /sarcasm> tag.
