...Does this make CBS innocent of liberal bias? No. CBS executives, after all, approved the script and oversaw production without thinking it would cause a fuss. They had wanted a love story about Nancy and Ronnie and - until news of conservative objections broke in the New York Times - they apparently thought that was more or less what they got. The irony is, they were trying to pander to Reagan's fans; they just proved spectacularly bad at it. But if CBS's executives were not floating in the warm, like-minded liberal womb of Hollywood, it might have occurred...
...were a gift. And, since it's a Christmas movie, he brings his dad's broken family together and falls in love with a department-store elf (Zooey Deschanel). His spastic exuberance is partly counterbalanced by the tenderness given to the film by director Jon Favreau, working from a script by first-timer David Berenbaum.

To deliberately and calculatingly depict public people as shallow, intolerant, cold and inept, with no truths or facts to back up the portrayals, is nothing short of malevolent. Many of the people depicted in the script are dead - Lew Wasserman, my sister Maureen, my grandparents, Don Regan. They can say nothing about their portrayals. And my father, obviously, cannot correct the lies told about...
...attending when my father was elected governor of California (I was never at an all-girls? boarding school.) They have a classmate saying to me, ?Hitler?s just been elected governor.? No one writes a line like that with any other agenda except to wound. Later in the script, Don Regan refers to my mother as ?Madame Fuhrer.? I?m quite sure he never did, but the feelings of those behind this project is made clear. Anger and vitriol always leak through if you?re a writer with those demons inside...
