I’m certainly not surprised at some of the advertisers dropping Beck, but I don’t agree with their reasoning either. In fact, I wonder where “free speech” enters into the quagmire. Are we now going to muzzle the voice of public expression? The statement was strong! Why? Because it hit hard on the President of the USA, but was it wrong in that it represented stated opinion. How far can our right to speak freely go?
I wonder how the conservatives of America will feel about this extreme pressure at the very heart of the source and expression of their political agenda. Will they let it slide or have the advertisers themselves bitten of a larger bite than they can chew?
What do you think? There are other fish in the sea.
