Many of us consider freedom of speech an absolute right and to be one that we hold dear in the United States of America. That right, given by the first amendment is still allowed, however, it seems to be only when it is aligned with the Obama Administration’s agenda. Here is an article of how the White House tried to exclude Fox News from the press pool on October 22, 2009 as a disciplinary measure for their conservative take on news: http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/10/escalation_white_house_tries_t.asp
And here is a great article from Wall Street Journal on how this is not all about Fox News, it’s about the media as a whole, or in other words, the freedom of press:
Talk about your Chicago politics. What is this, the White House or the basement of a Mafia social club?
UPDATE:
This is a video discussing the White House trying to exclude Fox News. Even the self proclaimed liberal is just astounded by the actions of the Obama administration towards this news agency.

Chicago style, and I don’t mean pizza!
They’ve been talking about controlling the media ever since they took over. They’ve even floated the idea of controlling blogs. Among the first efforts of any communist, or fascist regime is to control information!

The next step will be to control or out law religion, and the right to bear arms. Both of which the White House and liberal politicians are trying to do. Man, are we in for a really bumpy ride.
