Have you noticed that the FREE SPEECH ZONES just came to the fore
because it was the Dems convention? If the Repug convention would have been earlier than the Dems', it would not have been mentioned.

And they don't say that this IS THE PRACTICE FOR EVERY TIME BUSH breathes outside of the White House or Crawford.

2. I'm going to write the
mediamatters.org site. They want stories that are incorrectly reported but that is only half the problem. It's what they don't report, what they conveniently leave out that matters too.

4. Of course, I noticed in the same way a Soviet would have
when seeing the Old Pravda spreads on American Slums.

"Say, we have have those right here in Novosibirisk, but you never see Pravda doing a story on it."

Same thing. Enemies of the Satte get different treatment than Party Members.

It's the same everywhere like Imperial Amerika, where the shadow of Totalitariansim has been cast over the nation.

7. I don't like them...
...but the "cages" are everywhere. I'm disappointed that the Democrats are doing it, but it's not surprising. I only hope that the Republican "Free Speech Zones" are reported on just as heavily. However, somehow I doubt it.

8. Yes - suddenly the media has "woken up" re Free Speech Zones
Never heard about 'em when it involved Bush and Repugs.

Now they can't get enough of showing the "Free Speech Zone"

Don't get me wrong, hate the Free Speech Zone concept.

But the media is pretty damn transparent.
