“This is censorship,” says one source. “A pressure group has had a major network rip this movie to shreds.”

No, it's not - but this line is the typical liberal mantra. Conservatives are exercising their own right to free speech by threatening boycotts. No one is telling CBS they can't air what they please. We're simply saying we don't like what they plan. They are perfectly free to run whatever version they wish, but now know there are consequences.

This is something I just don't get. An actor/musician/network/reporter has a platform to express their free speech. Me, an average Joe, can't spout off on stage on foreign soil to give my opinion, can't call the local paper to have them cover my latest thoughts, can't slant news stories for my agenda, can't create a hit piece on the Clintons. I have only one avenue at my disposal......my money. That is my free speech and I plan on USING IT whenever I want.
