Dobbs Plays the Victim, as Movement Demanding CNN Dump Him Grows | | AlterNet

DON'T CRY FOR LOU
The recent flareups against the hate-mongers like Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck has them hiding behind the first amendment, claiming - like Dobbs did recently - that a fear of competing in the marketplace of ideas and facts drives the boycotts against them. The dunderheads have a right to their opinions but there's nothing in the Constitution that says they deserve news platforms to disseminate hurtful and dangerous myths. Just as they are free to gin up hateful sentiments, we are free to educate our communities, call out their patterns of fear mongering and faulty reporting and put economic pressure on their advertisers.
