Not really. But by the logic of Newt Gingrich and a bunch of other righties upset by NPR's sacking of Juan Williams, apparently I've been censored my entire life.
You see, no major news outlet has ever given me a forum for sharing my opinions with a wider audience. Not ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, Fox, the NYT, the WaPo, not anyone.
But the usual wingnuts are whining that NPR is committing censorship by firing Williams. If depriving him of a platform is censorship, then not giving him access to such a platform in the first place would have to be even more stringent censorship.
Yep, by their lights, just about all of us are being censored. (Help, help, I'm being repressed, come see the violence inherent in the system, etc.)
What a bunch of weenies.
Since other than to make this minor point, I don't care one iota about the Juan Williams brouhaha, let this be an open thread.
