 CBS announced that they decided not to air a controversial
miniseries about Ronald Reagan, starring Barbara Steisand's husband,
James Brolin as Reagan. Conservatives joined the Reagan family
in denouncing the upcoming series as biased. CBS caved in to
the pressure and moved the movie to their Showtime cable network,
where there will be a much smaller audience.
Today we have a commentary by presidential son and Talk Radio
star, Michael Reagan, along with visual comments from a dozen
top cartoonists.
Americans 1, CBS 0
By Michael Reagan
 Score
one for the Gipper - thanks to millions of outraged Americans
the Hollywood liberal elite lost big when CBS threw in the towel
and dumped onto Showtime its smear job on my dad, Ronald Reagan.
If what just happened here is any indication, the only viewers
it will attract will be Barbra Streisand and her loony pals curious
to see what a terrible job her husband whatshisname did playing
the former president.
They just don't get it. They think that
everybody agrees with them that, because my dad was a conservative
- to them the most hateful thing anyone can be - he was a fumbling
ignorant failure as president. Conservatives, in their twisted
minds, are sworn enemies of progress and everything else that's
good and decent in Hollywood's view, you know, good things like
abortion and gay Boy Scout scoutmasters and Communist dictators
such as their hero Fidel Castro.
 They
found out how wrong they were. Most Americans remember that on
my dad's watch the economy skyrocketed, taxes plunged, the Evil
Empire began its descent into helplessness that brought it crashing
down, and the American people rediscovered their native greatness.
It really was "morning in America," and it was Ronald
Reagan who was there to show us the dawn.
This is anathema to the Hollywood crowd
who live in a fantasy world where monsters like Fidel Castro
are greatly admired heroes and Marxist slavery is the only sensible
political system. And the elitist liberals at CBS fall right
in line with this leftist garbage, and, as they did in this instance,
allowed Hollywood the liberty of creating an attack vehicle against
my dad and my family and then claiming it was an historical documentary
that portrays the Reagans as they really are.
