The Free press censored the voice of Naomi Kline who spoke at the Media Conference in Minneapolis.

Because Naomi Kline told the truth about Obama and his part in the continued war on Iraq and Afghanistan.

Using the excuse that Naomi talked about elections..

yet had RT Ryback, Mayor of Minneapolis who has but the funding to Public Access there. Keith Ellison, Democratic Congressman and Senator Dorgan.

In other words, the Free Press lied about their reasons to attempt to censor Naomi Kline.

In fact, believing that does make you the "Crazies of the Crazies."

If you consider Obama a "Centrist" Democrat, you are living in an alternative universe!

Nothing is more democratic than what we have now!  If you want to listen to Rush Limbaugh, you listen to him. If nobody listened to him, he would lose his job.

Air America tried and failed.

I'm telling you, if you push the Fairness Doctrine, there will be a war in the streets.

If you want to push your ideas, bipass the media, don't try and control it via government.

I'm not so sure mainstream can be "fixed" I think more effort should be in exposing it for what it is and promoting alternative media sorces.
