Showtime Touts Reagan Film. Press Release Suggests It’s A Hit Job.

SHOWTIME has announced it will be releasing a docu-series about President Ronald Reagan and his family titled, “THE REAGANS,” and if the press release is any indication, it will be yet another predictable hit piece on a Republican president from Hollywood.

SHOWTIME writes in the press release that the series “contextualizes the legacy of Ronald and Nancy a generation later while exploring the palace intrigue of the Reagan White House years. … By shining a light on the truths behind the Reagan myth and critically analyzing Ronald Reagan’s quest for power, his mode of governing, the ripple effects of his economic policies and the unprecedented role Nancy Reagan played in the White House, the series redefines the Reagans a generation after they stood at the center of the national and global stage.”
