Nancy is up to it again

I find it interesting that free speech can be protected so closely by someone that is out to take it away from people that have differing oppinions from her own. Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi wrote a letter to the Attorney General, Eric Holder, that basically asked him to turn a blind eye to the anti-trust laws that are currently in place which prohibit newspapers (specifically her liberally biased  local San Fransisco paper The Chronical) from merging together. She is claiming that it is the only way to keep the papers from going bankrupt and that 

"we must ensure that our policies enable our news organizations to survive and to engage in the news gathering and analysis that the American people expect." 

Well isn't that just fitting for the liberals, who love the biased newspapers that overwhelmingly supported Obama 3 to 1 over McCain  in the last election. The funny thing is that at the same time she wants to save the papers (which are out specifically for the public benefit, by the way), she wants to tear down the dominance in talk radio by the evil conservatives with her support of the Fairness Doctrine

I'm not sure, but to me this sounds a little fascist... It sure seems like she wants to control what people can hear. By trying to resurect a failing industry in the name of free speech, and at the same time attempt to ruin a thriving industry by taking away free speech she is abusing her power. I guess the First Amendment only applies to people that think the same way Nancy does. What a shame.

  1. Following on Bush's lead (or lack of leadership) Democrats are simply trying to extend the tentacles of government into everything possible, including the nations newspapers.

    It is going to be a huge mess to untangle all of this governmental interference with the rights of Americans.
