The New York Times has an article up on the CBS hack job on the Reagans.
"I fully expect this mini-series will be largely unfavorable to my dad," Michael Reagan, a radio talk-show host who reaches two million people each week, wrote recently in a column posted on various Web sites.....This is no doubt what Al Franken refers to as "Fair and Balanced." The major media once again shows just how completely pegged they are on the Left-O-Meter, when they consider this crap to be a centrist view of the Reagan Presidency. They clearly think that they are helping Reagan's image by ignoring his economic policies, which they no doubt view as failures. I guess we should be thankful -- their take on Reaganomics would have been homeless people and the inflation of 1981, rather than the 1984-2000 bull market.
"With the climate that has been in America since Sept. 11, it appears, from the outside anyway, to not be quite as open a society as it used to be," [Judy] Davis [playing Nancy Reagan] said during an interview at her hotel in Montreal. "By open, I mean as free in terms of a critical atmosphere, and that sort of ugly specter of patriotism."
She added, "If this film can help create a bit more questioning in the public about the direction America has been going in since the 1970's, I guess then I think it will be doing a service."
Mr. Brolin said he, too, hoped that the film would prompt Americans to be more suspect of their leaders. "We're in such a pickle right now in our nation," he said, "that maybe if learn something from this."[sic]
