PRESTOPUNDIT -- A Good Blog at a Great Price. Guaranteed.

UPDATE: Betsy Newmark asks: "How long before the New York Times reproduces the Kerry chart in its paper?"

Wouldn't that be COORDINATION between a political candidate and an organization funded by the obscenely wealthy? I thought we'd made that illegal in this country .. It's not? You mean folks like the filthy-rich Mr. Arthur Sulzberger Jr. can coordinate his campaign activities with any political candidate he wants? Do George Bush and John McCain know about that? Why, there ought to be a law .. You mean there is? What? The First Amendment? I thought the Constitution was only for those who weren't so massively wealthy as to own giant media companies like The New York Times. That's what George Bush, John McCain and Arthur Sulzberger believe isn't it? Who can argue with them? They are officially sanctioned by law to speak freely for the rest of us, aren't they?

More on free speech, big media and campaign censorship here. Quotable:

We have entered an era of constitutional censorship. Hardly anyone wants to admit this -- the legalized demolition of the First Amendment would seem shocking -- and so hardly anyone does.
