I recall that there was a big outcry by conservatives about a TV-movie about St. Ronnie and CBS caved and ended up showing it on Showtime (or some other cable network) rather than on CBS. I hope that Democrats and other believers in truth will have the same pull with ABC and that they pull this distortion of history.
I believe it was in 2003 and had James Brolin playing Reagan and conservatives were up in arms.
