Liberals are the biggest defenders and biggest offenders when it comes to censorship

The hypocrisy of liberals can be quite choking at times. Liberals make a huge deal out of censorship whenever one of their pet causes are threatened. However, when it comes to free speech that steps on their toes they often use silence as a weapon against it.

The woman that protested against China's President Hu on his visit to the US is claiming that CNN pre-censored her comments in an interview. The whole foundation of her protest was about China's barbaric treatment of the Falon Gong by killing them and harvesting their organs. Newsmax reports:

Though Wang's one-woman protest received widespread media attention, the press largely over looked the reason for her outcry - a bid to call attention to the gruesome organ harvesting practice.

Dr. Wang told Farber that the Beijing regime extracts hearts, livers and kidneys from prisoners all over China; including "prisoners of conscience," who could be Christians, anti-communists, or members of the Falun Gong religious movement.

So having been scheduled to be interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on CNN, the protestor Dr. Wenyi Wang, was told moments before the show not to mention the organ harvesting because it was during viewer's dinner hour. In an interview with talk show host Barry Farber:

She told Farber, however, that before the show "one producer actually told me - there will be no discussion about the organs."

I am sure that if there was a story about George Bush ordering the harvesting of organs of prisoners, CNN would have no problem airing discussion of it during the breakfast, lunch and dinner hours. What is the liberal's fascination and enthrallment to China? Look at how Dr. Wang's protest was covered in the mainstream media. When Bush is abroad and being protested by thousands the media has no problem with it; even relishing it. They hardly blinked when the dud grenade was lobbed on the stage with Bush. Actually, they could hardly contain their disappointment it did not go off. Yet China's Hu gets protested by one person and they both portray her as a nut and ignore the actual reason she is protesting.

I have stated before that silence is the weapon of choice by the media. If they disagree with it and they can get away with maintaining silence, they will do it. This voluntary censorship is called bias.
