NBC has refused an ad for a Dixie Chicks movie because it is "They are Disparaging to President Bush."   David Boise reacted to this by saying, "It is disappointing and troubling that NBC and The CW would refuse to accept an otherwise appropriate ad merely because it is critical of President Bush."   Harvey Weinstein 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 sad and profoundly un-American."   Can anything be more commical?

Let's see now, NBC's "news" division is almost constantly critical of the President.   David Gregory, the network's whitehouse press corps representative has been nothing but critical of the President for 6 years.   NBC routinely shows anything even remotely conservative in a foolish light.   The news has frequently broadcast otherwise insignificant stpories which are critical of Bush and Republicans while ignoring anything, no matter how big, which might favor Bush.   And now we are supposed to believe they are afraid of Republicans?   We are supposed to believe that "corporate America" backs Bush and squashes and free speech which might disparage the man?   Come on, you can do better than that.
