The Republican National Committee Friday asked CBS to allow a team of historians and friends of former President Ronald Reagan and his wife to review a miniseries about the couple before it airs.
Republicans have expressed concern that the miniseries, titled "The Reagans," may inaccurately portray the couple.
In a conference call with reporters, RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie said he sent the request to CBS Television President Leslie Moonves.
Gillespie said that if CBS denies the request, he will ask the network to run a note across the bottom of the screen every 10 minutes during the program's presentation informing viewers that the miniseries is not accurate.
CBS spokeswoman Dana McClintock said Moonves received the letter, but neither he nor CBS had any comment on it or the miniseries.
Gillespie said that if CBS rejects both requests, the RNC would sell tapes and DVDs on its Web site that would present "the real Reagan record." article
They already approve the "news". These people are just downright creepy. It will be interesting to see what CBS decides.
So, go ahead, sell tapes and DVDs. But unless CBS is now RBS, you folks don't have any right to censure or censor their programs.
Cripes.
How about we run a note across the bottom of the screen every time Smirky the Dolt goes on TV informing the public that what he is saying is "not accurate"?
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
