The Liberal Media and freedom
This article made me feel sad and angry to think our freedom of expression may end, along with so many other freedoms we've recently lost.

Accuracy in Media editor Cliff Kincaid charged today that liberal “media reform” activists, who expect a Democratic victory in the 2008 presidential election, plan to limit conservative access to the media and force stations to put more left-wingers on the air. Kincaid will report the details of the unfolding plan as he covers this week’s “National Conference on Media Reform” in Minneapolis. Kincaid’s preview of the conference can be found in the column “’Media Reform’ Targets Conservatives,” at

“The ‘progressives’ are angry that since the deregulation of the media, beginning in the 1980s, the liberal media monopoly has been challenged,” says Kincaid. He notes that most of the Big Media remain liberal but that “progressives” are angry that talk radio and cable news have found a receptive audience for conservative programming. One of their new tactics, he reveals, is calling conservative programming “hate speech.”
Personally, I enjoy hearing different views on things so I don't become a robot programmed the way the media or government wants. I don't have to agree with everything I hear.
Do you think this can happen here in the 'land of the free'? Do you think it should happen just to prevent 'hurt feelings'?
How can we preserve our right to say what we believe? I'm worried and a little angry.:mad:
What do you say?
