"Media Reform" Targets Conservatives

Link
6/3/2008

"Equally serious, a session on "Standing Up Against Hate Speech" in the
media will feature Mark Kappelhoff, Chief of the Criminal Section of
the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and
representatives of various Hispanic and civil rights organizations.
Their task will be, according to the conference program, to use the
"verifiable data that links hate speech to hate crimes" and come up
with "strategies and solutions" to muzzle or remove offending radio
and TV hosts and programs from the air. They usually define "hate
speech" as being commentary or news coverage that is critical of
illegal aliens or minority groups. Indeed, the term "illegal alien" is
even considered to be offensive."
