GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP: “Military Web Restrictions to Continue as Republican Led House Panel Passes on Amendment” / Phillip Molnar
The House Rules Committee passed on an amendment that would have stopped the military from filtering news websites on its bases.
Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., added the change to the Defense Appropriations Bill last week after reading about the Army’s restriction of The Guardian news site at the Presidio of Monterey and other installations.
“This was a decision by the Republican leadership, and the Republican leadership alone,” Grayson said by email Wednesday. “I think it’s unfortunate that the Republican leadership thinks that we need to keep our own soldiers in the dark, and prevent them from reading what every other American can learn about.”

CRITICAL THINKING: “Cable News’s Journalistic Suicide” / Marty Kaplan
CNN and MSNBC are giving wall-to-wall coverage to the Trayvon Martin murder trial. Fox News is taking brief breaks from the courtroom to empathize with Darrell Issa and Paula Deen, because George Zimmerman isn’t the only victim around who needs defending, but otherwise the cable news channels are all race-crime-porn all the time.
They have three good reasons for doing this.
