In an Ironic Twist of Events, NBC and The CW Television Network Refuse to Air Ads for Documentary Focusing on Freedom of Speech

NBC Claims that the Network “Cannot Accept These Spots as They are Disparaging to President Bush”

The CW Television Network that the Network Does “Not have Appropriate Programming in which to Schedule this Spot”

NBC and The CW Television Network have taken a stand against the Dixie’s Chicks new documentary “Shut Up & Sing” a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible political and media fallout that occurred in 2003 after the Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines said that she was “ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.” “Shut Up & Sing” opens in theaters in NY and Los Angeles on Friday and in theaters nationwide on November 10th.

Uh oh. And here comes the idiotic lefty spin

Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company stated, “It’s a sad commentary about the level of fear in our society that a movie about a group of courageous entertainers who were blacklisted for exercising their right of free speech is now itself being blacklisted by corporate America. The idea that anyone should be penalized for criticizing the president is sad and profoundly un-American.”

Hey Harvey, can I call you Comrade Weinstein? Great! So Comrade Weinstein, what you are saying is that people have no right to exercise their liberty and associate freely with whomever they want?

I just want to make sure we are clear that you are against liberty. Good. Now that we have that established maybe you have something else to add? No? Oh. This is your response?

The Weinstein Company is exploring taking legal action.

Legal action? What grounds are you going to “take legal action” on? That NBC did not want to run your ads and take your money?

Stop the presses! Comrade Weinstein now believes the government should be able to force you to accept advertisements from anyone!

Give me a break. Isn’t there some communist nation you’d be more at home living in? Cuba perhaps? I’ll buy your plane ticket if you promise to go there and STAY there until you die.
