Is it A) CBS, for canceling the "The Reagans" mini-series under public pressure, and then compounding that cave by insisting, I-did-not-have-sex-with-that-woman-style, that "This decision is based solely on our reaction to seeing the final film, not the controversy that erupted around a draft of the script"?
B) Andrew Sullivan, for triumphantly declaring that this marks the day that "the new media saved the old media"?
Or C) Jeff Jarvis, for saying that "the real problem here is that we're turning ourselves into a nation of media sheep, namby-pamby, thin-skinned, coddled, babied consumers who are protected from offense and opinion"?
