Michael Ventre over at MSNBC wrote on this issue today, saying, "Forget “The Reagans” for a moment. Forget that you stand squarely on one side of the aisle or the other, and have a firm opinion on how President Reagan should be portrayed. This miniseries might have been the finest cinematic effort of our time, or a piece of trash.
What matters is that a major media company chose profits over the First Amendment and caved when a few vocal groups bent on getting their way applied pressure. "
That is the troubling bit about the Reagans. It showed that Conservative Boycotters do have teeth. They can accomplish their ends. Media corporations will cave into pressure. Which should be scary to people who like free speech.
