With Kossacks and the rest of the liberal blogosphere united against ABCs Path to 9/11, there is precedent for a network to simply pull the plug on a show. In 2003, CBS faced the same situation from conservative furor over the mini-series, The Reagans. According to this CNN article, 'snippets' of the transcript had leaked and a portion of the transcript was printed in The New York Times. The part that conservatives protested was a line in the movie where Reagan was

depicted as uncaring and judgmental toward people with AIDS. "They that live in sin shall die in sin," Reagan's character tells his wife as she begs him to help AIDS victims.
