Here's why you can't buy the News Journal at Wal-Mart

You can't buy the Pensacola News Journal at Wal-Mart anymore.

The store ordered us off their property, told us to come pick up our newspaper racks and clear out.

So we did.

A few people called last week, some even wrote letters to the editor, and wanted to know why they couldn't buy the newspaper at Wal-Mart in the days after Hurricane Dennis.

Some managers at Wal-Mart didn't appreciate a column Mark O'Brien wrote last month about the downside of the cheap prices that Sam Walton's empire has brought to America. We all pay a little less, and sometimes a lot less, at the grocery store and department store because of Mr. Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart.

1. it's government censorship under the cover of corporations

Or, more generally, the line between the government and corporations has been eliminated. The corporations are legislating directly. House and Senate votes are shams (c.f. CAFTA).

2. I agree ...

... I believe you're correct. Our senators and congressman are no less corporate agents than their Regional Sales Directors and Vice Presidents. They do their job for the corporations, and they earn their pay in return.
