DNC Mourns Loss of "Reagans" (Blast from the past from DNC hypocrites)

Powerline ^ | November 05, 2003

Here's the Democratic National Committee's take on CBS's decision to kill a slanderous, unfounded attack on Ronald Reagan:

"CBS has decided to pull its miniseries about Ronald Reagan after a Republican National Committee-organized campaign complaining that it didn't lionize their favorite president enough.

"CBS's decision is — to put it mildly — disturbing. Essentially the network has given the ruling party veto power over the content it puts on the air.

"No, there are no First Amendment violations here. The RNC protested the content of a program, which is its right, and CBS voluntarily pulled that program off the air, which is its right.

"But the decision makes it very easy to imagine a future where representatives for the Bush administration have the power to disapprove of any content that touches politics, policy, or history — including news programs."

Yeah, that's easy to imagine all right. Currently the "power to disapprove of any content that touches politics, policy, or history -- including news programs" is almost 100% in the hands of Democrats. Frankly, none of us is imaginative enough to picture a world in which the American media are controlled by conservatives.

On the positive side, it's nice to be referred to by the DNC as "the ruling party."

Blast from the past ping

[freedumb2003]

Huh?

[hipaatwo]

Dem's are trying to pull path to 9/11 now but this is what they said back then.

[polymuser]

We were against censorship before we were for it.

[freedumb2003]

Good point -- a bump for that!

[SE Mom]

Well, well, well..

What's that about...coming home to roost?

[Mo1]

Being upset and protesting is one thing (and part of the 1st amendment)

Threatening a TV station like the Dems have done is a completely different matter

[CharlesWayneCT]

Except that it wasn't the RNC that led that fight. It was a grass-roots efforts. I don't remember any senior elected republican making a public press conference about it -- maybe I missed it.

[CyberAnt]

But .. the program about Reagan was a total fabrication from beginning to end.

The Path to 9/11 IS NOT A FABRICATION - IT'S THE TRUTH AND THAT'S WHY CLINTON'S CRONIES WANT IT OFF THE AIR.

[TommyDale]

Hypocrites...they are only bothered because it will hurt their elections in November, because the American people will be reminded what spineless cowards the Democrats really are.

[rawcatslyentist]

What was that documentary that was CENSORED by judicial fiat, by the free speech for only us DEMOCRATS?

Oh Yeah it was a documentary about their COMMUNIST HERO they choose to run for POTUS!
"Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," charges that Kerry's actions as an anti-war activist after his tour in Vietnam harmed American POWs, and questions the veracity of the U.S. atrocities that some veterans reported.

[Holicheese]

If I remember it right, it just went over to Showtime. Or was I drunk?

[Steely Tom]

Surely a party with the vision, wisdom, poise, and dignity of todays Democrats deserves to be elevated to the highest levels of power.

[t2buckeye]

I believe you are right! I think there were members of Congress who said it shouldn't air, but there were no threats to the network, AND Reagan's family...including Patty Davis who is hardly a conservative...were the ones who believed the film was incredibly false in its portrayal of the Reagan's PERSONAL life (the segment about the portrayal of Reagan and his "hatred" for homosexuals comes to mind)
This show is based on actual research..
