| Description | NEW YORK (AP) -- The director of "The Reagans" complained Monday that CBS butchered his made-for-TV movie, ultimately making it too incoherent for the network to air.
"We were, in a sense, banished" from the editing process before CBS ditched it, director Robert Ackerman said.
CBS decided last month to cancel its movie on the former president, shunting it off to the Showtime on cable. Showtime will air the filmmakers' version Sunday.
CBS President Leslie Moonves said Monday that the movie was politically pointed, and that he would have made the same decision to cancel it even if there had been no public outcry.
"I was told it was going to be a love story, that the politics would be in the background," Moonves said. "I didn't feel that was the case, and I didn't think it was balanced."
