I'm far more likely to skip a film from a company that shuts down anyone's free speech rights than the beliefs of an individual star. For example, I abhor the politics of Kelsey Grammar but I still like to Boss on Starz because he puts in an amazing performance.

Republicans (and politicians of all stripes) need to get it into their heads that the bill of rights trumps their money making opportunities every single time.

When a right-wing shareholder of Time Warner asked the CEO to muzzle anti-tea party comments from an actor, the CEO said, "What can we do about it? Not much."

The correct answer from a media executive should have been: "Have you ever heard of free speech, you jerk? I don't care how many shares you own."
