Eyebrows were raised Thursday after the TV miniseries The Reagans, which was yanked from the CBS network and forced to air on the pay-TV channel Showtime, received seven Emmy nominations. The leaders of MoveAmericaForward.com, which led the battle against Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, had charged that in the Reagan film, the couple "are smeared by a collection of Hollywood liberal screenwriters and actors who concoct false events and statements in a desperate attempt to redefine the Reagan Legacy." And even Patti Davis, the sometimes estranged daughter of the late president, had condemned the film as "idiotic." The film's co-producer, Craig Zadan, told the Hollywood Reporter that the major TV networks "still feel the residual chill from the highly politicized attacks that were leveled by people who never even saw their movie." But Michael Paranzino, who launched the website www.boycottcbs.com after the film was announced, told the Los Angeles Times that the Emmy nominations illustrate "the differences in Hollywood values versus mainstream American values."
