Conservatives Celebrate Winning One for the Gipper

YEE HAW!

Of course the libs are going to whine and complain about their slander of President Reagan not being aired on CBS. What’s more, it is a victory for people-driven media:

Drudge said that when he found out about the project, “I challenged [CBS CEO Leslie] Moonves: ‘Why don’t you put Nancy Reagan on the air? Why don’t you let her say this is trash, and this is hurtful, and her husband can’t defend himself?’ And they wouldn’t do it. So to have them in retreat, again, is a great win for a new media of all stripes.”

Of course, folks like Tom Daschle and People for the (Liberal) American Way paint the whole affair in a different light, screaming about the vast right-wing conspiracy. Of course, there was this great statement from the founder of BoycottCBS.com that wraps it up nicely:

Michael Paranzino, the Maryland lawyer who had launched the Web site BoycottCBS.com that led the march to get the miniseries squashed, called it “a great victory for all fair-minded Americans” and “a wakeup call to the out-of-touch liberals in Hollywood.”

“It should not have taken a national groundswell of hundreds of thousands of Americans to make Hollywood and CBS realize that an attack on the Reagans is seen by most Americans as an attack on our values,” he said.
