The market of potential viewers? Apparently, the cost of people who would be horrified enough to alter economic decisions against CBS was more than the cost of people who would be thrilled enough to alter economic decisions in favor of CBS.
Or the market of shareholders of CBS? They may just start looking for a few heads to chop if they are sufficiently horrified.
Or the market of advertisers? I'm having trouble guessing which type of company wants to run commercials in a time-slot for this series. Penthouse? Budweiser?

So you're telling me that CBS neglected to take these things into consideration until AFTER Republicans wrote a letter to them disclosing their disapproval? "Oh shit, the Republicans just informed us that this miniseries could be potentially controversial! We hadn't thought about that until they brought it up!"
You would think that a company of that size would have considered the economic ramifications well before they even decided to produce it.
