Freepers trying to make CBS kill Reagan movie!!!

[Donny247]

The Drudge Report is reporting that CBS is going to be airing a very unflattering portrait of ol' Ronnie Reagan during sweeps next month, and the Freepers are trying to get CBS to kill it the way they got the Dixie Chicks pulled everywhere. They do this by mass e-mailing the company, creating a manufactured sense of public "outrage." Here's a link to the CBS web site. Let them know you support them exposing Reagan for the fraud that he is.

8. If you can find any links

to threads where they are manufacturing support, send those along as well. In some cases, when we've shown an organized effort to skew their numbers, they've pulled polls.

17. Well would you look at that.

They're all over this documentary, and none of them /has even seen it/!

I'd be a bit more willing to buy into their accusations of liberal bias if they would, you know, actually take something from this movie and, you know, analyze it against the facts and all. But it sounds like they've made up their minds about it already anyways.

I fear for this country.

9. Reagan said AIDS patients should die for their sins

Guess that blows the myth of the kindly old man right outta the water

[elperromagico]

18. Until his buddy Rock Hudson died of AIDS

Then all of a sudden, it was important to him.

It's a little hard to say, "AIDS is a punishment for homosexuality" when one of your friends is among the homosexuals being "punished."

22. The screenwriter admits she made up the quote.

But why let fiction get in the way.



"Elizabeth Egloff, a playwright who wrote the final version of the script, acknowledged there was no evidence such a conversation took place. But, she said, "we know he ducked the issue over and over again, and we know she was the one who got him to deal with it." "


I hate docudrama. It's always the same. The movie about Bill Gates, the various movies about the Kennedys, this and nearly all the others. People don't READ enough to learn the difference between sensationalism and history.

Movies like this UNeducate the viewers. They understand less about the subject after watching then before.

10. What is CBS calling it???

VEGGIE TALES?

[bleedingheart]

12. oh that is so wrong

the sad fact is that the current admin is so in love with the right wing that Raygun helped foster that treatments to help people like him aren't being explored due to the influence of the pro-lifers and anti-genetics groups..

15. I'm just a dirty old man

But Charisma 0wnz0rz j00!

[madrchsod]

13. gee sounds like the

truth to me.nancy controlled ronnie because she had to and more to the point she loved him.reagen`s econmic mircale came about by "voodo and smoke and mirrors" . nancy couldn`t stand bush and his eastern bunch of thugs and according to the j burchers bush was the anti -christ..i may even watch it...

16. They never did kill the Dixie Chicks.

Yes the Clear Channel stations pulled them but it didn't stop the band from having the top Country Western albumn at the time.

[onebigbadwulf]

19. Well hell...

They do this by mass e-mailing the company, creating a manufactured sense of public "outrage."
---------------------------------------------------
