Some of you may know that I posted a very detailed article about CNN's clear bias in favor of a certain candidate for President.  Unfortunately today when I came to check the blog, my post had been deleted.  I was not endorsing any candidate for President, and layed out the clear facts as I saw them in this case.  It was a thoughtful article which considered both sides of the Debate.  My vantage point as an outsider with information from sources in Nevada.  I also included the vantage point of someone inside of the process, for fairness.  I left the reader to decide which side was correct. 

I gave my assessment of the Main Stream Media's coronation of a certain candidate.  Now I have had my post deleted by the staff here at Campus Progress.  I ask a simple question, WHY?  I was not endorsing a particular candidate nor was I endorsing a particular political party.  I was discussing a current event. The CNN Nevada Democratic Debate.   I am disappointed that Campus Progress would take such an action, and I am led to believe that it was due to the criticism's I have layed out, instead of a violation of the terms of use.  So again, I would like an explaination of why this action was taken to censor my post on Campus Progress.

The only reasons we will ever remove a post are if the post either (1) violates our terms of use [Link

or (2) is otherwise inconsistent with our requirements as a nonpartisan educational organization organized under section 501(c)(3) of the tax laws. We never “censor” posts because of the opinions their authors express.

In this case, a staff member removed the post because of concern (2) -- legal requirements. We will review the situation and determine if that decision was correct.

Let us know if you repost it elsewhere, Eli. It'd be nice to link it up with a few friends, which I obviously can't do now.
