CBS has finally decided to drop their partisan hit piece on Ronald Reagan entitled "The Reagans." CBS has sold the miniseries to Showtime.

Upon hearing that CBS dropped the miniseries, Democrat hit-women, Babs Streisand, responded by calling it "censorship"

She Claimed:
"This is censorship, pure and simple. Well, maybe not all that pure. Censorship never is. Due to their experience with the restrictive English government, the framers of our constitution specifically included a ban on prior restraint in the First Amendment, which is an attempt to stop information from getting out there before the public has a chance to see it at all - exactly what is going on in this case."

Let me enlighten MRS. Streisand. The American Library Association defines Censorship as: "The change in the access status of material, made by a governing authority or its representatives. Such changes include: exclusion, restriction, removal, or age/grade level changes." Streisand is right in that the First Amendment was conceived from the Founding Fathers' "experience with the restrictive English government, the framers of our constitution specifically included a ban on prior restraint in the First Amendment." One thing she leaves out in calling this cases "censorship" is that THERE IS NO GOVERNMERNT ACTION here! The moment of clarity that lead to the decision to remove the program was simply pragmatic business by CBS to prevent a boycott and the prospect of sponsors removing their capital from the movie.

Let me just inform ALL activist that in order to claim censorship, there must be Government Action. The Constitution, for the most part, DOES NOT APPLY TO PRIVATE ACTION!
