The banning of Linda Ronstadt from the Aladdin casino in Las Vegas for her praise of Michael Moore from the stage is just the latest attack on free speech by media brokers on the right.
Earlier this month here in the Midwest, a movie chain has refused to show Fahrenheit 9/11 because it incites terrorism.
Back in April, Sinclair Broadcast Group refused to show the Nightline edition where the names of all the war dead were read because it was “an anti-war statement “disguised as news content”.
Funny, I had thought that those on the right were all about defending freedom and the American way of life. Last time I checked, that included freedom of speech. I find it fascinating that under the guise of supporting America, these right-wing powerbrokers think that freedom of speech only applies to those who support the president. Feels like the blacklist all over again.
