Thanks to Drudge, here is a small trip down memory lane..
What did Democrats think about CBS pulling the Ronald Reagan miniseries a few years ago? Let's go to the way-back machine, Sherman.. Here are a few tidbits:
Senate Minority leader Tom Daschle later called the decision to pull the show "appalling." CBS "totally collapsed," he told National Public Radio.
Actress/singer and liberal activist Barbra Streisand, whose husband James Brolin portrays Reagan in the miniseries, said CBS "caved" to "an organized Republican spin machine." Indeed, Fox News Channel top talk host, conservative Bill O'Reilly, gave heavy coverage to the controversy, but it was The New York Times that first tipped readers to the tone of the docudrama.
(Boldface is mine)
Isn't interesting how they were against the network caving to pressure a few years ago, when CBS tried to run a hit piece on Reagan, but now when there is unfavorable light placed on Clinton, it's ok to exert that same pressure? Interesting..
