Reagan


The American Experience episode, "Reagan, An American Crusade" , was terribly biased. I managed to watch for almost 20 minutes, but most of those 20 minutes were about the Nuclear Freeze movement.

I do not recommend this episode to anyone.

The show tends to lean toward the liberal side but I actually thought the episode managed to be fairly balanced. Maybe part of why it came across as slanted was the fact that you caught a snippet? This was a longer episode (3 hours) so the episode tended to focus on criticism for stretches and accomplishments for stretches. Ironically, I remember the section about the push for non-proliferation as being the most critical section of the documentary. Sorry to hear you did not enjoy it!

If the lefties had won the day, the Soviet Union would still exist, it would still rule over Eastern and Central Europe, and it would probably dominate much of Africa and Latin America.

Ronald Reagan was the right man at the right time. We desperately need someone like him today.
