Local Television Station Scared to Death to Report the News

Last night as I watched the 10:00 p.m. news on the local Fox affiliate in Tampa, Florida, WTVT, I was appalled. A story has surfaced in St. Petersburg about a local lawyer named Thomas Wadley, who happens to be a firm believer in free speech.

In protest as to how the American media has chosen to suppress the news and self- censor what can be allowed to be printed, Wadley hung banners across the front of his home. The banners were a Danish flag along with enlargements of some of the cartoons that have cause death and destruction across the globe by intolerant murderers in the name of their Islamic religion.

Surprisingly, in the online version of the St. Petersburg Times, there is a photo of Tom Wadley standing in front of his house. Behind him is the Danish flag. I am surprised because I would almost assume that the association would raise fears in the paper’s editors of Islamic reprisals. This is what it has come to. These same intolerant morons are burning, pillaging and murdering anyone or anything that even makes reference to the cartoons.

Their terrorism is working because as we cower in the corners and remain hypocritical in our beliefs of free speech, these terrorists are exploiting the situation. Once they realize they have the upper hand, it soon gets out of control.

On the news broadcast last night, the reporter went to the Wadley house to do the story. First off, the video that was shot was a joke. Any time there was any part of Wadley’s banners or pictures visible in the video, they were covered over in censorship. Secondly, you could tell the reporter was petrified to speak out of fear she might say something offensive.

Wadley says it is time to stand up for what this country stands for and that is freedom. To hide behind respect for another’s religion is crap. It’s simply an excuse for the terror that has come over our media. I for one am shocked that it has come to this. The terrorists have to be dancing in the streets and much of the increases in uprisings are a result of the scare tactics working.

I take my hat off to people like Tom Watley. It is obvious he has no disrespect outwardly toward the religion of Islam but he does value his free speech.

Of course the television station had to run to the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. A spokesperson there just kept repeating the same old mantra – “This is inciteful and disrespectful of our religion. He is only doing this to incite anger in the local Islamic community.”

Talk about intolerance! Where do these people get off. As Wadley said last night, when people disrespectfully portray Jesus or any other Christian icon, Christians don’t rise up and go burn down houses and murder people.

The terrorists have found a foothold. They now know our media are cowards and are that because they have instilled fear in them by threatening and showing they will kill for no real reason at all.
