Funny...home of the free...and they have to have their faces blacked out.

Yep, Joe the plumber was the first example of a targeted private citizen and there have been others. A man who spoke out a a John Dingell town hall meeting was being threatened in his home.

I haven't kept a running tally but I'm sure there must be dozens we know about and many more we don't.

No kidding, a word the the boss where an undesirable may
work, missed mail, all kinds of indirect punishment.

What BEck is talking about, RIGHT NOW:

This was posted this afternoon on KOS, and is currently it’s #2 Diary, by a guy I believe works for MEDIA MATTERS:

Why the White House is 100% Right to Challenge Fox News

There are three categories of news media:

1. Opinion Outlets

Keith Olbermann
Bill O’Reilly
The Young Turks
Wall Street Journal Editorial Side

2. Partisan Press (Ideologically Driven Press)

The Nation
Fox News Channel
National Review
Mother Jones
Drudge Report

3. Straight News

CNN
ABC News
MSNBC News Programs
New York Times
Wall Street Journal (Non-Editorial)

I about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw that....

MSNBC is “Unbiased straight news”.

I guess they don’t know that NBC News is staffed by a MAJORITY of gays. No Bias there...

Or that they call the New York Times Editorial Board “The Gay Mafia”, for a reason. No bias there....
