“[D]ocudramas are the enemy of thought, history, fact, and public understanding”

Easterbrook

Even if the show was totally fair to the Reagans, Easterblogg is glad CBS cancelled it, because all docudramas should be cancelled. News programs are good and pure fiction is fine; docudramas are the enemy of thought, history, fact, and public understanding. When a viewer sees something in a docudrama, he or she has no way of knowing, not the slightest clue, whether what’s being presented is real or fabricated. Docudrama producers claim they are driving at “higher truth,” blah, blah, but what they are driving at is lower drek.
