WASHINGTON, DC, January 14, 2013 — Kudos to Sony Pictures’ Amy Pascal for snapping right back at Ed Asner and Martin Sheen for suggesting an Oscar ban against those involved in the movie “Zero Dark Thirty.”
“To punish an artist’s right of expression is abhorrent.”
Yes, abhorrent! This brings to mind John F. Kennedy’s brilliant reminder of our First Amendment:
“Democratic society, in it, the highest duty of the writer, the composer, the artist, is to remain true to himself and let the chips fall where they may.”
By virtue of Asner, Sheen and others like them, the chips have already fallen upon Kathryn Bigelow, director, and Mark Boal, screenwriter, for “Zero Dark Thirty.”
We saw this coming right here on these pages.
As noted and as reaffirmed, out First Amendment now comes with an asterisk.
Sheen acted as (West Wing left-wing) President of the United States on TV, and Asner portrayed the boss of a TV newsroom. It’s a good guess that they would be politically selective, and that they feel duty-bound to tell the Academy and the rest of us what’s in and what’s out.
http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ There are a few things worth knowing about revolutions. Most people don’t participate in them, even if the history books often make it seem otherwise. Revolutions are thought up by small groups of people who then make it everyone’s business. Or alternately they don’t. And those are the revolutions that never happen. Most people, […]

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/behind-the-democracy-initiative/print/ When is a conspiracy, not a conspiracy? Like the answer to Sir John Harington’s famous epigram, “Treason doth never prosper,” a conspiracy isn’t a conspiracy when it has proven to be successful. Then it’s no longer conspiracy; it’s authority. The now mostly-digital pages of the New York Times, Time, Newsweek and the Washington Post […]

So much buzz about films among conservatives…. Argo yes but it blames America for the advent of the Mullahs in Iran and then credits Jimmy Carter who actually midwifed the rule of the Ayatollahs with bringing six hostages home safely. Zero Fast Thirty is pretty good and does prove that roughing up terrorists can extract […]
