So what? You're making allegations about content and censorship, not
distribution and share price.
Let me ask you something, Daivd: are you a citizen of the US, and if so,
for
how long?
The reason I ask is we have this thing called a Constitution, and this
group
of men called the Supreme Court of the United States. There's also fifty
independent state governments, each with their own constitutions
(guaranteeing freedom of speech!) and their State Supreme Courts.
You're seriously suggesting that six large American companies are being
censored by the Federal government, and these fifty state governments are
just going along for the ride, their governors, entire legislatures, and
courts keeping mum. The really sad part of this is I don't think you can
see how crack-brained that really is. You've been percolating in the
poisonous stew of liberal thinking for so long your brain has turned to
complete mush, so that now you'll believe anything...I mean anything, no
matter how insane it is. You're letting your hatreds and petty biases
lead
you around by the nose, and I bet you can't even remember the last time
you
actually critically examined a political statement or policy.
If you believe the media is being censored by the government, David, why
don't you sue them in court? Charge them with violating the First
Amendment
of the United States Constitution. I know you've probably never read it
in
your life, but it so happens that the main purpose of the Supreme Court,
as
articulated in that document, happens to be adjudicating exactly those
kinds
of cases!
But you won't do it. And we both know why: because you can't find a
single
government employee, federal or state, who is "censoring" the news. Of
course, being the liberal loon you are, and liberal loons being what they
are, you're not about to let a little thing like not having any facts to
back you up on your charge of government censorship keep you from shouting
it from the rooftops. It's not what's true, right David; it's what you
can
sell.
Chuck
