NBC Says Don't "Shut Up And Sing" - Just Shut Up!

From the "Free Speech In America" file, we see that unfortunately free speech has indeed been lost in the current corporate media. NBC has refused to air a commercial publicizing the documentary "Shut Up & Sing." about the movement against the Dixie Chicks for dissing King George back in 2003 over the invasion of Iraq. From Variety Magazine: “NBC’s commercial clearance department said in writing that it ‘cannot accept these spots as they are disparaging to President Bush.’” Well since they won't show the commercial I will:I guess criticizing the little dictator that could is un-American. Particularly during the run up to the mid-term elections. Academy Award winner Harvey Feinstein who is distributing the film through The Weinstein Company in its' statement regarding the snub said It’s a sad commentary about the level of fear in our society that a movie about a group of courageous entertainers who were blacklisted for exercising their right of free speech is now itself being blacklisted by corporate America. The idea that anyone should be penalized for criticizing the president is profoundly un-American. How right he is. Hopefully after November 7th, the citizens of the U.S. will be able to hold this administration accountable for the erosion of their rights. HAD ENOUGH? Vote Democratic Nov. 7th.
