Hello All:
Being a former Journalist "Freedom of the Press" is something I learned a great deal about. Recently, however, I have learned even more about that peticular First Amendment Right. Freedom of the Press doesn't mean what I thought it did, or what other American Citizens may think it means. It doesn't mean a journalist, or newspaper, is free to print what they want, it means the news media is "Free" to twist the news into anything they want so it reads "Politically Correct."
I recently posted information about a television news story that was done about my book. This post is about the tap-dancing that was done to hack up my story to make it politically correct. Since I'm not able to upload audio files to this blog I am providing a link to an audio file that contains a conversation with the reporter that did my story, under the guise of "Tying up some loose ends." The content of that conversation is blatantly revealing, but also provides what was left out of my story and why.
When I was a journalist I don't remember ever having to clear my stories with a "legal department." And, why would I, the Constitution guarantees "Freedom of the Press," as well as "Freedom of Speech."
Regards,
