Off the main stream
After Reagan's death, I neither saw nor heard dissenting mainstream media coverage in either the French or English. If you get off the main stream, some editorials look as nasty as the mainstream media was laudatory. Check out the article at Socialist Worker.org titled Good riddance.
Authors Alan Maass and Lee Sustar don't refrain from direct insults -- for example, "The truth is that Reagan was an ignorant bigot...," or "Reagan was a widely seen as dimwit--even by his supporters." This comes up again if you search Google news, e.g. The Crimes and Times of Ronald Reagan. You have to start getting into blogs (!?) before you find something anti-Reagan but with balanced tone.
