Manifesto for Media Freedom ReviewIn lieu of the Democratic Party's takeover of Congress in 2006 and the possibility that they may obtain a filibuster proof majority in the House of Representatives next month, November could spawn a monster as many of the left's fantasies may soon become a political reality. After the inauguration, Barack Obama may be in a position to fulfill the left's most virulent dreams by stifling the free speech of those on the right. Most of ways in which they will do so are outlined here in this exquisite and concise book. Authors Brian Anderson and Adam Thierer showcase with erudition the numerous areas in which free speech is now in serious jeopardy.
The Manifesto's position is that those regulations now celebrated by advocacy journalists and leftist politicians everywhere will be applied not only to the economy but to the media on the whole. Diversity of ideas and the marketplace of ideas are not something in which Democratic politicians have any interest because their own policies tend to fare poorly when people remain free to criticize them. As a means of altering the landscape of power and tilting it in a direction that better advances their prospects, anti-liberal leaders have lobbied for the reinstitution of the Fairness Doctrine and the creation of the inappropriately named "net neutrality" concept.
Yet it is all but political subterfuge. The strongest and most depressing chapter, "Campaign-Finance Reform's War on Political Speech," is also its last. The story of what really went on behind the passage of the Bill is a horror show. Left-wing foundations effectively played a hoax on those Republicans, including the current nominee, who were useful in passing McCain-Feingold. They knew that its consequences would mostly be unintended. As Clarence Thomas noted in his dissent in McConnell v. FEC, nothing now structurally prevents the government's total regulation of the press. These are dark days indeed. We must all speak out in order to remain free. Luckily, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Thierer have begun the process of our doing so.Manifesto for Media Freedom Overview
