Howard Dean is guest blogging at Lessig's Blog; you may read the first post here. Link via Glenn Reynolds.
Dean's against large corporations owning several media outlets because of "...what happened to the Dixie Chicks"? Good grief.
Some chick spouts off about Bush overseas and it leaks out on Drudge. People retaliate the only way they know how, economically. Chick tries apologizing a few times. People who like the group, still like the group. People who can't forgive the slip have voted with their wallets.
What in God's name has this got to do with ownership of media outlets? This goes beyond REACH.
But at least he's consistent. I hope the dems run this flake for Prez.

When personal choice is outlawed, only the annointed wizards will have choice. Dean thinks he's that wizard.
