Barbra Streisand is pissed because the Reagan hit piece was cancelled. Where the fuck was she when Dr. Laura got chased? When they all tried to get Rush a few years ago?

Let's be real here: getting CBS to cancel the Reagan Docudrama is censorship. However, the three (now four or five) networks have always been "censored" because they do not exist in a free market. A truly free market in TV would mean every station in America would be able to bid money for the rights to carry a program and the producers could sell their wares to the highest bidder. A "chain of stations" would be forced to bid against another "chain". Programs that didn't deliver would be canceled immediately. "Free" television has always existed in a censored environment. Always. Why else have none of them shown a three month old aborted fetus for the last 20 years?

Money is the only assurance of a free market, of ideas, and of "art". The consumer pays for what he or she wants to see. In every area of subsidized "art" you have a perversion, a censorship, an exclusion of that which the elites don't like. Norman Rockwell is a bum, to everyone but the people. Rap music is shit, to everyone but the audience. Rock and roll etc., etc., etc. Mount Rushmore would be destroyed by our elites.

A nearly free market exists in movies where, in spite of the power of studios and theater chains, a flop is a flop and is jerked from the theaters after the first weekend. Movies nobody believes in become hits by making it in small theaters and going "main stream". The market rules most of the time. Even when a picture doesn't do well in theatres it may be a monster hit when it goes to video. So the market does eventually select the winners in the movie business.

We now know that for decades the big book publishers refused to publish right wing books. We know even now that many bookstores "hide" Conservative books because they don't want them to sell. Brentanno's in Beverly Hills is one I am very familiar with and Conservative books are not displayed anywhere in the front of the store. Amazon has filled the niche and so a free market now exists in books IF you go to Amazon and only if you go to Amazon.

You cannot find many Conservative books in public libraries. I was looking for Cigar Aficionado in the Beverly Hills library and was told, "we don't stock publications that advocate smoking". So nothing to do with tobacco farming or genetically engineered foods are carried either. I couldn't find "Clash of Civilizations" in any bookstore or Library in the LA area. The very Left public libraries engage in Politically Correct censorship a-la Ms. Streisand all around the country.

Now the Left, the same bunch that bans books and magazines they don't like from the Public Libraries, the same bunch that makes sure no fetus is shown on TV, the same crowd that wants God taken out of all our public buildings, the homosexual Left that chased Dr. Laura off the air, those lying scumbags will tell you there is no Left Agenda or Leftist censorship. But if anyone dares to stand up to the Libel and slander of a former Republican President who is dying and can't defend himself, oh my God (God in the Left Wing religion is a Welfare Check) it's the return of Hitler .

I personally wish CBS had shown it their Reagan hit piece. It would have revealed for all to see just how low this segment of our "arts" propaganda machine, which is composed of homosexual activists, Marxists, socialists, and environmentalists will go. Did I say homosexual activists? You bet I did. The focus on a remark about AIDS that he never made is proof. The same can be said about the focus on other "homophobic" things he never said or did. The disproportionate influence of homosexuals in Hollywood is huge.

I wish it had been shown uncut. Not so we could see Reagan as he really was, but so we could observe how the Left really is.

In defense of Streisand artistically: she is like Walt Disney in that neither of them ever did anything that might cause anguish or hurt with their "art". Streisand has done nothing you couldn't take a six year old to see nor has she done a recording not fit for an infant. Nobody went after her because the "suits" trusted her. She was so good she could stay "clean" and still make money. Why she stopped singing and started to politicize is a mystery, but her stand on censorship wouldn't hold water had she decided to do a "hit piece" on Mother Theresa. She comes from a different place artistically than 99% of the "talent" in Hollywood. Too bad she quit.
