Blogger First Amendment Rights and Media Credentials with a Recognized News Affiliation

By Artsuggest on | From dulltooldimbulb.blogspot.com

It would be ironic and unwise for a blog named "Dull Tool Dim Bulb" to criticize any part of the "legitimate" press, but a recent court decision which found bloggers do not have the same first amendment rights or protection as journalists gives me a little pause. First, because even with my limited creds, I personally may have more journalistic experience (and I might even suggest integrity) than a good chunk of the journalists working today, and second because the so-called legitimate press...Read Full Story

Intolerant Liberal Brats

By beckychr007 on | From girlinshortshorts.blogspot.com

In slogging out this blog over the past two years, there has been a phenomena that some might find strange. Almost all of the homophobic and misogynistic comments have come from those who are politically left of center. Even though I viciously attack George Bush , argue the insanity of our foreign policy, strenuously make the case for same sex marriage , am a PETA supporter and push other issues that are traditionally trigger buttons for conservatives —they continue to come around, make...Read Full Story

With Media Conglomerates In Charge, Watch What You Tweet

With the ever-dwindling number of independent companies involved in media broadcasting, perhaps it shouldn't surprise us that a cable corporation can threaten to pull all funding for a non-profit organization's summer programs just because someone there tweeted something the cable company didn't like...but that is exactly what happened last week. Let's rewind a bit to see how this all fell out. The Communications Act of 1943 established the Federal Communications Commission , a government...Read Full Story

OTTAWA, Jan 6 (Reuters) - An Islamic group's demand that a Canadian magazine publish its response to an article that said Muslims were set to swamp the West has sparked warnings of government-imposed restrictions on freedom of expression. The Canadian Islamic Congress, one of Canada's largest Muslim groups, says Maclean's , a popular Canadian weekly news magazine, subjected Muslims to hate speech with an article in October 2006 by best-selling author Mark Steyn that said a high Muslim...Read Full Story

Maybe, But You Were THINKING it!

By ACJohnson on | From blogoftheunion.blogspot.com

Happy New Year, It's 1984, everyone! Actually, it's been 1984 for a couple of decades now, but I guess only a handful of us have noticed. For a lot of people, worrying about "Big Brother" means another new episode on CBS, but for those of us who trade in ideas , which can be more offensive than anything some bimbo in a bikini might say or do on T.V. to those in the land of PC, we are acutely aware that we are being listened to, if not watched. We laughed, at first, at the ridiculous social...Read Full Story
