Nice point, but we need to be fair about this. I beat Ustwo up pretty badly every time he answers an attack on Bush with a "well yeah but CLINTON did. . . " comment.

I don't give a damn what happened yesterday or who did it. Whatever it was doesn't make what someone is doing today any more or less right. So while the republicans were assholes about the Reagan movie, it just doesn't matter in the context of the current discussion.

Now here's where it gets annoying - - -none of us has seen the documentary, so we don't really KNOW if stuff is made up or not. Sure some Democrat congresscritters are saying stuff is false but 1) can we trust them (they are, after all, politicians hunting for votes) and 2) even if it were false, who cares? It's a movie. Documentaries are not held to the same standards as regular journalism is. If you don't believe me, go watch a Michael Moore video some time. The man makes a few good points, but it's not exactly balanced coverage.

An ABC journalist who makes crap up and is caught will be fired. The same does not hold true for someone who produces a "documentary" for ABC because documentaries are not now and never will be, news. In other words, if politicians want to stop the airing of a documentary because it has things that aren't true in it, then we also need to stop the airing of all movies, sitcoms, and soaps.

If they're really upset about it, perhaps they should make their own counter-documentary.
