Critical Thinking

The publishers of "When You Wish Upon A Star" sued Family Guy for their episode "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein." Since parodies are legal, it was tossed out. We should appreciate our First Amendment freedoms in general, since plenty of people around the world don't like them and don't want them. Right now, Islamic states wish to make criticising their religion a human rights violation. Looks like the UN Human Rights Council will avoid criticizing religions during their debates.

Speaking of criticism, a number of leftist groups, tired of criticizing Rush Limbaugh, are going after CNBC. With deep economic troubles in the country caused by numerous factors in our government, our businesses and ourselves, they've decided to attack a TV channel. Even some otherwise respectable people have signed up. They're claiming that since CNBC (which made most of its "mistakes" in 2008 and earlier, when they were backing Barack Obama, and no one on the left cared) aired too many allegedly bad ideas that backed Wall Street, it's only fair that they make numerous mistakes backing the ideas the left supports.

If you don't like CNBC, the most effective way to opposition is counter speech. They've been made to look like toadies and idiots which has very little to do with ideology- investors of all stripes lost money and shame on them for listening to screaming idiots on cable.

This isn't counter speech. This is threatening them for their speech by trying to force them to speak (stupidly) in ways they don't want.
