Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts), the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, appears to be gunning for a new job--Censor in Chief. Senator Kerry has publicly declared (on MSNBC) that the media should henceforth and forthwith refrain from giving "equal time...equal reportage" to the Tea Party.

Kerry's rationale: they're just plain wrong and it's wrong to 'give equal time/balance to "absurd notions" just because someone says it.' Taken to its logical extreme, about half of Hollywood would immediately be subject to a news blackout and C-Span's coverage of live Congressional action would be terminated.

Kerry appears to be a constitutional strict re-constructionist. While the First Amendment spells out that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press, it doesn't require that a member of Congress refrain from calling on members of the press to stifle debate, either. Never mind that a significant segment of the news media has consistently featured unfavorable reportage about the Tea Party from the beginning of the movement more than two years ago--one major online article from Yahoo! News dated August 5, 2011 is entitled "Is the U.S. Credit Rating a Victim of GOP Sabotage?" and includes disparaging comments about Tea Party-supported Congressional freshmen. It's not enough for Senator Kerry to have the blame for the first downgrade of the U.S. credit rating since 1917 laid squarely on the Republican doorstep; no mention should be made of these "absurd" people at all.
