Soros-funded group wants feds to probe talk radio
Soros-funded group wants feds to probe talk radio It is ironic that this group calls itself "Free Press." Robert McChesney, an avowed Marxist and founder of Free Press, wants talk radio probed for so called hate speech. That doesn't constitute a free press in my mind.
So what would constitute hate speech in the minds of these people? A dissenting opinion? What is it with Marxist types that they so enjoy policing others? Is there some sort of DNA mutation that causes this? These people need a copy of the Constitution and a swift kick in the hind parts. It is no surprise that George Soros would fund this group as he supports the idea of government-run media. Soros, McChesney and others claim it would lead to more balanced reporting. Hmmm...sounds like propaganda and censorship to me. I wonder if the magazine that contained this quote would be probed for hate speech:
"The hope that fired up the election of Barack Obama has flickered out, leaving a national mood of dispair and disappointment. Americans are dispirited over how wrong things are and are uncertain that they can be made right again. Hope may have been a quick breakfast but it has proven a poor supper."
Think that came from a Conservative blog, or talk show? Think again. It came from Mortimer Zukerman, Editor-In-Chief, US News and World Report, July 2, 2010. Mr Zukerman voted for Obama and his paper The New York Daily News endorsed Obama. Mr. Zukerman even helped Obama with one of his speeches. The US News and World Report is considered a bastion of liberal bias. Would his words be considered fair criticism or hate speech if Mr Soros and Mr McChesney made the rules?
Those currently in political power who change the rules to suit themselves need to know that one day they will be out of power and the rules will apply to them.

Soros Funded Group Advocates For Government Run Press
These people actually think the media would do a better job of investigative reporting if the press were government run. Click on the title to read the article. They also seem to think that free speech would be better protected under a government run system because false statements, lies, etc would be filtered out and only the "truth" would be made known to the public.
Does anyone else besides me see the danger such thinking presents for free speech? Who out there really believes a government run media would be more protective of free speech? What is happening to our country that anyone could embrace this as a good idea? Ask the Russians, or the Venezuelans, or the Iranians how well government run media is working for them.

Harry Threatens Newspaper
Just when you think you have heard it all, something else comes along. It seems like everyday there is something new and worse! Harry Reid seems to have adopted some of the current administration's tactics in dealing with those who do not share his opinion. I have said before that the day we lose a free press is the day that we have truly lost freedom. Mr. Reid seems to want to hasten the coming of that day.

ABC Obama Network?
OMG....I never thought I would see the day when a US news network would be so blatantly biased for the government. A free press ensures freedom. When the media is so biased that they help propagate a policy for the government, that is the path to tyranny. I wonder what the broadcasters will think one day when they and their loved ones have to deal with government run health care on a personal level? I wonder if they will have any regrets?
