So, Media Research Center has a new “Free Speech Alliance” through which it is urging President Obama to “Oppose All Govt. Radio Censorship.” MRC President Brent Bozell released a statement saying Obama “should state his opposition to the use of any FCC regulation with the intent of censoring talk radio. He should also guarantee a veto of any bill that will silence free speech on the airwaves.”

That would be the same Brent Bozell who brought you the Parents Television Council, a group best known for urging the FCC to crack down on the broadcast of words Brent Bozell doesn't like.

So when Brent Bozell and MRC talk about opposing “censorship” and ensuring “free speech on the airwaves,” keep in mind that what they really mean is that they want to protect speech they like, and censor speech they don't like.

Here's Stephen Colbert's take on the Parents Television Council. Brent, you may want to leave the room -- Colbert gets a little free-speechy.
