Has anyone asked ABC about their distribution of preview copies?

[Jack from Charlotte]

Why they would send a preview copy to Rush Limbaugh but not Pres. Clinton, if that was the case.

Also, what is their policy on ANY previews send out on ANY specials?

And did they ONLY send ytyhem to Right-wing, republican outfits?

Who made these decisions and why?

1. Couric interviews Limbaugh tonight. Drag CBS into this, Katie and ask for

his assessment of the preview copy.

2. why would they? they can send/not send to whomever they want

3. Because only right-wing commentators are mature and responsible

Disney/ABC attacks critics of the film by claiming: "No one has seen the final version of the film–because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible."

That makes no sense. The only reason anyone knows anything about the content of the film is because they sent it around to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Hugh Hewitt precisely to induce them to comment (favorably) on it. If it's "premature and irresponsible" to comment on the film because it's not complete yet, why did they send around screeners to (right-wing) commentators? It only became "irresponsible" once the commentary went from drooling partisan praise to critiques of the film's fabrications and inaccuracies.

In addition to the obvious inequities, CBS' quick and complete cave-in to conservative protests over The Regans, set next to ABC's combative attack on critics of this film, tell you all you need to know about the merits of the incessent, petulant complaints from Bush supporters about the "liberal MSM."

4. I did, but all I got was their lousy stock answer.

The other emails I've sent asking questions have gone unanswered.
