Apparently someone is leaking Drudge information on the upcoming CBS hatchet job "The Reagans." According to Drudge, the show features such things as "Mommie Dearest" Nancy popping pills and slapping her 5-year-old daughter. The writers have Nancy's mother referring to Hollywood as "Jews and queers", while Nancy's father seems more accurate in referring to Tinseltown as "Communists and drug addicts." The show further suggests that Reagan was sufferring from Alzheimer's throughout his Presidency, and had to defend himself from aides who thought he was an idiot. Not to mention hating gays and saying it was God's Will that they died from AIDS, as reported last week.
CBS has always been Left-Net, even back in the days of William Paley and "ol' Trustworthy" Walter Cronkheit, but this is as over-the-top as their classic Goldwater-meets-with-German-Nazis peice during the 1964 election. I guess it's time to ask:
Have you no sense of decency CBS, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?
And if they won't answer that, maybe the show's advertisers would like to.
