Free Speech ping. For goodness sake. I guess I'm 'contributing' the RNC for making this post?

THIS IS A GOOD THING .....

Consider, if you will the ramifications this precedent now sets.

In Reverse, every slanted news article, on TV, the Radio, or in print, becomes a case that can be made against Dem Political campaigns. (however, if the MSM had brains they would now begin writing fawining (R) coverage...)

More good ole King County Politics. Republican David Irons ahead in the polls over Ron "Tax to the Max" Simms and the news helps spread a massive smear campaign against Irons. 912 ahead in the polls, then get a leftist judge to make this ruling and limit free speech.

If this is the case, then any political editorials in the print media MUST be held as political donations as well.

I knew that McCain/Feingold was going to be just the beginning! Those in power do NOT want anyone but the MSM to be able to diseminate their ideas. Hell, the dems have the MSM in their collective pockets, and the pubbies? Well, I still haven't figured them out, but it seems that they still think that if they're in power long enough, the MSM will come around.

Either way, the last thing either side wants is for the great unwashed to have access to anything other than the official line.

This is beginning to get REALLY ugly!
