And my letter:

To the editor:
On Friday, August 10, CBS aired its Early Show from Liberty Memorial. KCTV5 had advertised this event and invited the people of Kansas City to attend and bring signs. Representatives from CBS, who have apparently forgotten the first amendment of the constitution, appointed themselves censors and decided a permit to stage an event on public property gave them the right to decide which signs were acceptable and which were not.

CBS allowed sexually suggestive signs and some political signs at this event. But signs encouraging an end to a war that is opposed by the vast majority of Americans did not meet CBS's standards. Some of the people who attended were asked to leave the park and threatened with arrest. One woman was handcuffed.

Our 'liberal media' has once again dropped the ball. It is not their job to control the message. Shame on the police for their complicity, as it is their job to protect the people and not ignore our constitutional rights.
