Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | Craven Broadcasting System: "Rep. Dingell said that he wrote his open letter to CBS's Moonves because he believes that people deserve to hear the truth about President Reagan's years in office. Dingell, a congressman since 1955, remembered that truth as encompassing, among other things, 'ketchup as a vegetable,' the Iran-Contra affair, voodoo economics, Oliver North, the savings and loan fiasco, and farm bankruptcies. 'If they can come up with something good that can be said about him, then by all means they should say that too,' Dingell said. 'All I want to do is see to it that the media is allowed to function in a free, responsible, decent and truthful fashion.' "

This is annoying. Is Reagan above reproach here? Why not let the market work? Let it air and then see how it is received. Put your experts on your networks and refute it.
