Can hardly wait since it appears that the CBS execs and especially Dan Blather will get another free pass. I get so frustrated when all the demoncRATS get free passes but if a pub steps out of line, all HELL breaks loose in condemnations by mainstream media, slutty demoncRATS and communist organizations like moveon.org.

Is the Sinclair decision to broadcast a scathing documentary on JFK (which resulted in the DNC filing a grievance to the FEC) a "pre-emtive" strike against the MSM? Can the GOP do the same to the Alphabet media? Are we entering dangerous unchartered territory for free speech?

Your feedbacks would be appreciated

And since virtually all media outfits are owned by corporations, their rights under the First Amendment are not nearly as secure as many in the media seem to believe.

The trek to free sovereignty confusing has been reached.

When a group of millionaire lawyers all put their heads together to devise guidelines on free speech I say that it is already a bad idea. Funny how the dems. have become a party of two americas - the high level dem. lawyers and the other 95% of dems. who take orders and do as they're told. The democrat party is no longer viable.

Start with these premises: (1) The left knows that free speech will be their undoing; (2) The left knows that free speech, via the internet, is taking off.

So, the left decides to take away an effective way to make your voice hear--money. They know that the right always wins the money war. While they protest, the right gives money.

The left takes this down by arguing that money isn't really speech. It's utter nonsense, but they're helped out by a lunatic RHINO Senator from Arizona who has decided that he has heard too many bad things about himself from sources outside the mainstream media.

So, the two conspire to negotiate a massive takedown of our free speech rights, setting up the mainstream media in a favored position the average citizen cannot enjoy. They know they can't directly take down speech per se, so they go after money. that's important, because it sets up the next act--

Start acting like the exercise of speech is an "in-kind" contribution of MONEY to a party. Speech won't be speech--it will be a substitute for money!

Actual speech will be okay still--that is, actual speech in the form of protests, etc. Written "speech," will not be so lucky. That sort of speech will be treated as a contribution to a candidate, and subject to campaign finance laws. So there goes the internet.

This, together with voter fraud, is going to take our country down the toilet. It's happening right now.

The Internet is the last bastion of free speech.....if Kerry is elected....freerepubic.com is outlawed by Xmas 2005...my only hope is that there is a behind the scenes investigation of CBS and Dan Rather and that it is being kept under wraps to find out the truth...and the truth shall overcome....

Bush signed it. He approved this assault on the First Amendment.

Thanks a hell of a lot, Republicans.
