That which isn't owned outright must be threatend by sponsorship backing and negative PR. That's the tactic used on all our media. Free Press, HA!

Sorry but people who buy ad time and/or donate money have the right to direct that money to organizations that most reflect their ideals and values and/or the ideals and values of their customers. It's just a damn tough time to be a liberal right now. My perspective tells me that is a GOOD thing. HA HA

Freedom of speech is guaranteed, but nobody promised you a bigger megaphone than the other guy. Sponsors have every right to not let their money be spent on things that they don't agree with. That's a free speech issue as well. It may be a little high-handed and reactionary on their part, but I can't argue with their right to do it.
