The trailer for the Reagan hit job on DNC/CBS has been released to some media and here is the way one of them sees it:

The video trailer shows clips drawn from the film and portrays President Reagan as an amiable dunce, manipulated by his scheming wife – a man who had little control over his presidency.
A controlling Mrs. Reagan making clear to White House aides: “You don’t call the president to tell him something, you call me.”

A forgetful Reagan who can’t even recognize his national security adviser, Robert McFarlane: “What’s you name?” Reagan asks McFarlane. McFarlane responds, “I’m your national security adviser; perhaps you don’t remember me.”
Another view is in the Washinton Times
I thought about "the evidence" this week when I read CBS is about to broadcast a two-part "miniseries," "The Reagans." It depicts happenings and conversations in Ronald Reagan's life that never took place. The producers of "The Reagans" do not deny that. They present one of the great presidents of the 20th century as a dope and not always a very nice dope.
It's worse, but I'm just getting to hate Hollywood and everything it stands for. Read it. Written, produced, directed, and starring haters.
