The last time a docudrama triggered a such a sh*t storm was not that long ago, when CBS was offering a fictionalized dramatization of the live and loves of Ronald Reagan. That was back in November 2003. Right wing organizations went ballistic with websites like insultspunished.com blasting it as biased and an unacceptable attack on a living President. Other outlets compared it to a media assassination.
Remember what happened then? CBS first defended it as accurate but then as the heat grew, yanked the whole series, no ifs and buts, and put it on Showtime, another Viacom-owned outlet.

I forgot about that - the same wingies who were screaming about the RR biopic are loving the "Path to B.S."
