Excerpt:
That the mainstream media leans overwhelmingly to the Left has long been known; that it shares the hard Left's taste for authoritarian controls on the freedom of speech has not been so widely noted, but is becoming increasingly clear. Last week both the British Guardian and the New York Daily News published pieces equating truthful and accurate reporting about jihad violence and Islamic supremacism with "hate speech," and calling for such reporting to be placed beyond the bounds of acceptable public discourse. That restrictions on free speech might come to harm their own profession is apparently something they haven't considered.
After dismissing concerns about jihad and Islamization as "fearmongering," Nathan Lean in the Daily News offered a strikingly statist remedy: "Society has a responsibility to counter these individuals with overwhelming overtures of pluralism — and to systematically push the fearmongers out of public discourse. … Judicial systems must absorb the true scope of the Islamophobia industry's rhetoric and rage." How "society" was to go about identifying "fearmongers" accurately and then "systematically" driving them out of the "public discourse" Lean did not explain, but since he envisioned "judicial systems" being involved, he seems to be calling for the arrest and prosecution of those whose opinions about Islam he dislikes.
