Liberals as censors?

Last edited Sat Mar 9, 2013, 07:43 PM - Edit history (1)

One of my facebook friends posted a teary lament about Ms. Hasselbeck's departure from The View. In the course of her whine she accused liberals of censoring everyone who doesn't agree yada yada yada.

So I posted this in response. I thought about pasting Liz H over Palin, but thought, "meh".

... nobody is censoring Ms. Hasselbeck. Her bosses decided she was not worth what they were paying, and fired her. They were fine with her opinions, their viewers weren't.
