Ted Turner's CNN was nimble and quick with an eye to a global audience during Gulf War I. Eleven years later it has become a slow, lumbering dinosaur burdoned by lawyers and government attache's. Aaron Brown's "gee-whiz" fawning over technology also projects fourth estate American arrogance across the globe.

It reeks of rah-rah USA propaganda and Kevin's blog was a breath of truthful fresh air. That CNN would silence his first person voice -- and that the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post would find it newsworthy -- points to an inflection point.

Where's Ted Turner when we need him to trump the pinheads in his own organization?

Which Liberty are Americans and Brits dying for today? Freedom of speech or freedom to contract? Certain rights are inalienable, and a person's freedom to think and express herself should not be abridged regardless of contract.

CNN's position is nothing short of intellectual slavery.

Shame on them.

This is NOT Ted Turner's CNN.
