Happy Thanksgiving, and the message below needs to be broadcast and remembered by all of us.

In the area of news, our nation’s standard is the First Amendment, which promised us a multitude of voices engaged in a freewheeling marketplace of ideas, free of pressure from the entity most anxious to violate our rights — government. Instead, we now live with a single national conversation controlled by elites who insist that their one version of the story is the truth, and who scoff at dissenting opinions. We have a Congress that has engaged in malpractice by doing exactly what the First Amendment tells it not to do — abridging our free speech with laws and agencies that regulate and intimidate, controlling who can say what when. But the seeds of Old Media’s destruction were planted more than 200 years ago. Bloggers are emboldened by the First Amendment’s promises, and private enterprise has the freedom to pursue profits, protected from the government by the rule of law. News will be pulled back, redeemed, and set back on the right path. For that, we ought to be thankful.

Nothing beats real Capitalism and the use of the first amendment by us not the MSM/DINOSAUR FISHWRAPS and PRAVDABCNNBCBS.
