When the opposition side is denied the right to voice their opinion you dont have a democracy, Vladimir Putin being the former head of the KGB during the soviet union and now president out of poor habait could not tolerate any critism of himself , He had all the major national tv stations bought out by his party and he would not allow them too show anything from any of the rival political parties , He made sure any opposition party conferences were quickly drowned out by his puppeteerd media which would put a rerun of a Putin speech ahead of any of his Rivals live speeches .All flyers on the streets would even be riped off and the post would be spatterd with thousands of his, He had a Russian clone Saturday night live show removed off the air because they said some jokes about Putin that he didnt find very funny.
Alot of republican supporters from hearing their comments would loved to follow in Putins example and ban anything neagotive about Bush from being aired.I am amazed at how easily any newspapper or tv show is labeled liberal trash the momment it says anything neagotive about Bush.
In canada even though I personally dislike the conservative leader Harper for being a douche bag making fun of aboriginal canadians and calling canada a second rate socialist shindig, I am not gonna demand that he be removed from the air or that his voice is silence since he is the only conservative alternative and without him it would be Libs vs Libs.
Alot of magazines like Time or newsweek have Con and Lib writers saying different things about the same subject , So its not a Liberal rag because of the cover nore is it a con rag for the same reason,Its a balanced news report everyone represents both sides equally .
Even if you dont like what you hear , If your a true democratic statemen you put up with it , You even clap at your rivals speeches out of respect even if you dont agree with everything he said .Unless he is Adolf Hitler or a Commie who opposes freedom and democracy you have to show respect.
