'Freedom of Speech' in the US under George W. Bush


Between 11 September 2001 and 13 February 2002, at least four US journalists were fired for articles that were critical of the Bush administration or even just pro-peace. Since then mainstream journalists in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave have learnt to follow the official line.

*The Bush Inquisition by Christopher Brauchli, 13 February 2006. “Some are fired. Some are simply muzzled. When considering whether those events are a distinction or a disgrace the question that must be asked is "Who did it?" If it’s George W. Bush it’s a distinction. And so James E. Hansen joins Glen Hubbard, Paul O’Neill, Lawrence Greenfield, Brian Steidle, Susan Wood and a host of others who have been muzzled or fired for failing to promulgate or for exposing Bush lies.”
