Those who vocally fought the airing of the program did the nation a great disservice in depriving millions of the opportunity to finally see Hollywood make a total and unapologetic ass of itself.

No, getting this lying hit piece off of CBS was the best thing one could have done for protecting Reagan's legacy from a smear job. People who have seen the movie "JFK" think that movie was factual, when in fact, its just a pack of made up nonsense.

Forget politics and historical accuracy. "The Reagans" was so amateurish and unrealistic that it would have been perfect as a comedy skit on "Saturday Night Live,"

-------------------------------

Hitler started out amateurish sounding. However, if a lie is repeated long enough with enthusiasm, it will be believed. There must be some editing to preserve sanity. That presentation did not belong anywhere on ant broadcast system.

I'm curious......did anyone actually watch this hit piece on the greatest President of the 20th century?

I would have, but I was watching a football game.

I have no doubt that the poor quality of this movie made it easy to dump it from Network. I think that after the outcry started the powers that be realized it would be widely watched by all the best folks, not just the old duffers plopped on the couch that evening. Realizing it s*cked, and its totaly s*ckiness would be the dominant theme of post-viewing discussion, they did what any producer worth their salt does, they let it "close in New Haven".

Did anyone see this? (I didn't... don't have Showtime)

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

While I agree with Matt that the Classroom is ultimate venue for truth; that is the fight of our history.

Goebbels, Nazi exponent of Hitler’s “Big Lie,” averred that if a lie were repeated often enough and long enough, it would come to be perceived as truth.

We must confront the lies at every maneuver possible.

I will boycott CBS and its sponsors, they created this defamation and they should bear the consequences!
