'liberal media elite' my ass!
Don't believe there's a vast right wing conspiracy? Well, check out what the people who claim to love the Constitution (they love it so much, they want to change it to exclude the rights of many Americans!) are doing. From the AP . . .

BALTIMORE (AP) - Sinclair Broadcast fired its Washington bureau chief, saying he revealed company business when he discussed its upcoming program on a documentary critical of John Kerry's anti-Vietnam War activities.
Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. (SBGI) said in a statement late Monday that it fired reporter Jon Leiberman and that "we are disappointed that Jon's political views caused him to violate company policy and speak to the press about company business."
In his initial remarks, published Monday by The (Baltimore) Sun, Leiberman called the Sinclair show "biased political propaganda, with clear intentions to sway this election."
Leiberman said he was fired Monday by Joseph DeFeo, Sinclair's vice president for news, and escorted out of the company's headquarters in Hunt Valley, Md.
"I was told I violated company policy by divulging information from a staff meeting" to The Sun, Leiberman said late Monday. Read more . . .

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is happening in America. A man just got fired for stating his views, which were contrary to the views of the fuckers at Sinclair who are too busy sucking Dubya's dick to care about the principles of real journalism.
They're not even hiding it anymore. The irony is they call the media the "liberal elite?" Give me a fucking break. Sinclair owns 62 stations around the country. THey have more clout in more markets than NBC, ABC or CBS. Why? Because, unlike the networks, all Sinclair stations are FORCED to show this "documentary" about John Kerry. Network affiliates have the choice to broadcast or not broadcast programming. Sinclair stations don't have that luxury.
There is your "media elite!" And it sure as hell isn't a "liberal media bias!"
Americanas -- all Americans -- should be outraged at the blatant disregard for free speech exhibited by the top brass at Sinclair. They have sent a clear message: you have the right to free speech, providing you don't disagree with us.
A man got fired today because of his opinions.
Keep saying that until you get the danger of it.
