MSM Revenge on Blogger

A nothing rag of a newspaper, Tulsa World is threatening a blogger with copyright infringement and "unauthorized linkage" or some such nonsense. Commentary on it is at Confederate Yankee and it concerns blogger Michael Bates.

I guess these newspapers would rather we "paraphrase" what they are writing -- and who knows what bias or inaccuracies could be introduced by doing that -- then to quote them directly. And as for "unauthorized links", well, I think common case law has shown that if you are posting anything on the internet, you can be linked to.

I don't notice the assholes at Tulsa World (oops! Another unauthorized link!) suing Google or Yahoo or any other search engine. Jerks. And newspapers wonder why their readership is going down. They're so frightened of anyone looking over their biased shoulders that they resort to chickenshit threats to shut down the same First Amendment rights of others that they wrap themselves in. Idiots.

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
