FREE SPEECH IS SOOOO PRE-HOPE N' CHANGE!

Don't know what all the squakin's about. Who does this guy think he is? A defender of his country and it's Constitution or something? Is to laugh!

"The liberal media claim to champion free speech, but if they continue to turn a blind eye to this offense, we can only assume they approve of government censorship," Media Research Center President Brent Bozell argued in a statement released today.

Mr. Bozell was reacting to news of the federal Department of Health and Human Services placing a gag order on private health insurance companies communicating to their Medicare Advantage customers their concerns about Democratic health care reform proposals. The gag order is backed by a threat of federal prosecution.

Even so, this flagrant abuse of power by the Obama administration has been underreported in the mainstream media. The Washington Post has not printed one word about the violation, and while ABC News aired a segment on its September 22 broadcast, their rivals at the CBS "Evening News" and NBC "Nightly News" have ignored the transgression.

Telling a private company what it can and can't say? It's not fascism. It's corporatism. So it's ok. "Hope" that clears up the "change" for ya there..... but in case it hasn't, here's more from The One's FCC Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd:

And the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those (media) positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions we will not change the problem. … We’re in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power.

“It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.” (via Newsbusters)

So shut up.
