The "Liberal" Media

A documentary debuts today in New York and Los Angeles called "Shut Up and Sing", about the Dixie Chicks and the way the country went batshit crazy after one of them said they were ashamed that Bush was from Texas. And the major television networks are refusing to air ads for it, because it portrays the president in a bad light:

NBC responded to a clearance report submitted by the Weinstein Company's media agency saying that the network "cannot accept these spots as they are disparaging to President Bush."

As Mr. Greenwald says, and this site documents, this is not an isolated incident. There have been several ads that the media has censored because they were in contrast to the administration's message, while at the same time essentially giving free air time to Republican ads.
