Assuming you're not a SAF, I would respond by saying:

"When will you realize that what is good in a news media organization, is not to have a bias at all."

Secondly, I would say that the myth of a liberal media is just that, a myth. The concentration of media ownership in North America is in the hands of a few very rich people that are hardly the 'extreme liberal media' your kind like to portray them as. If they were they would actually report on real issues and injustices, instead of the typical distractionary fluff pieces repeating all day and night on the corporate controlled CNN's of the world.

DiscoD69 and Wipeout71 are both correct.

 I always find it strange when legitimate criticism of a controversial comment is equated to somehow trampling the speaker's constitutional rights.  Yes, HW Jr.'s lousy music can be pulled off MNF at any time.  (Personally, I tivo the whole thing so I can skip by that garbage.) Yes, W can be called any name anybody deems fit to call him. And yes, anyone who somehow feels compelled to wantonly display his ignorance can refer to Obama as a Socialist or a Nazi, or anything else they are stupid enough to dream up. None of this has anything to do with the First Amendment.  Conservatives will, however, never really understand this because they don't really understand the First Amendment, or much else for that matter.



I always appreciate common sense

So let me get this straight. Hank should be fired because he gave his opinion? He is not what is wrong with this country. Obama and his socialist programs are what is wrong with this country. I graduated high school and college. I am also not some dumb redneck. Hell i don't even listen to country music. I don't want to get into any big political arguements here but what Train and others have said is so true.

Obama isn't a Nazi. He's just a puppet for the Illuminati.

what was it that right-winger anne coulter said?  Shut up and sing?

Good advice for Williams in my view.

I'm sure all our conservative Covers brethren were similarly concerned about the First Amendment rights of the Dixie Chicks when folks were burning their records not so many years ago.  Or probably not.

Frankly, I think they should have left the guy on the show.  He's a moron, but it's a good song.

I don't care what he said but i'm glad they pulled him because i'm tired of that same old worn out opening that he has been doing for 20 years.
Same stupid song with different lyrics for 20 years? seriously? TWENTY YEARS?? I don't listen to country music so I don't know anything about him but hope he stays gone.
Time for something new.
Just my .02

Compare Bush to Hitler? No problem! Compare Obama to Hitler? The penalty flag gets thrown. I'm just saying we can't be sure Obama isn't in fact Hitler until we've seen the birth certificate. LOL

And I'm sorry, but I HATE when people bring up Freedom of Speech in situations like this.  There is NO First Amendment issue here.  This wasn't the government censoring a citizen.  Please, please read the Constitution.  All speech is not protected speech.  We must stop this silliness that has taken hold in the public square that you can say whatever you want, claim free speech, and just keep on going.  ESPN did what they should have for someone who is representi­ng their company and creates controvers­y, let him go.

First impression of his statement is he was saying Obama acts like Hitler but his intention is Obama and Boehner are complete opposites like Hitler and Netanyahu.

Any time you compare a US President to Hitler, expect backlash, no matter Rep or Dem.  ESPN is a humongous money maker so they have to protect themselves.

This is not First Amendment issue!!!  ESPN is not saying HW can't make those kind of comments, they're saying they won't use him as their "spokesperson" for MNF bc of those comments.
