As if we need more evidence of this claim, but Liberal media, my ass. Wired, with my emphasis:

In August, Robert Greenwald will release an updated version of his award-winning film, Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War. Greenwald has added a clip of President George W. Bush's February interview with Tim Russert on Meet the Press, NBC's Sunday morning talk show. In the clip, the president defends his decision to go to war - astonishingly unconvincingly.

Greenwald asked NBC for permission to run the one-minute clip - offering to pay for the right, as he had done for every other clip that appears in the film. NBC said no. The network explained to his agent that the clip is "not very flattering to the president." Greenwald included it anyway.

Later in the article, NBC says by denying use of the interview, it's being neutral. Neutral how? By stating that they view the clip as "not very flattering" is not very neutral. And denying use of the clip for that reason is far from neutral.

Read the entire article, too, because the purpose of the article is to demonstrate yet another example of where copyright can be used to infringe on the rights of Americans, namely the words of our leaders. If the president gives a speech at the White House, it's public domain. If he gives it on Meet the Press, it's the property of NBC. Want to buffer yourself from grassroots criticism, just give all your speeches on a news network. Combine that possibility with the increasing concentration of the media, and you've got the makings of Pravda built bottom-up instead of top-down.

Speaking of copyright issues, in case you haven't heard, Orrin Hatch wants to make my iPod illegal:

To show what sort of inane lawsuits would be possible under the INDUCE Act, the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) drafted a mock complaint, in which Apple, Toshiba, and CNET are sued: Apple for manufacturing the iPod, Toshiba for supplying the iPod's hard drive, and CNET for my iPod review, in which I explain how to use the iPod to transfer music between two computers. The fake complaint accuses these three companies of inducing copyright infringement by conspiring to put an iPod in your hands so that you might, of your own volition, fill it with unauthorized copyrighted music.

Sounds scary, right? I mean, I own two computers and an iPod, so I'm thrice tempted to copy a CD or a movie or download child porn (which is the issue the act is wrapped up in to make it harder for congressmen up for reelection to vote against it).

It's a crock and has little chance of passage. However, it wouldn't hurt to let your congressman know that it's a crock. The EFF makes it easy.
