HIT EM WHERE IT HURTS

"Though I've belted you and flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"

“Angelina Jolie's Freedom of Press, on Her Terms” –FOXNews.com

This from the same woman who wore a vial of blood around her neck and has “know your rights” tattooed across her back.

“Jolie is touting press freedom these days, playing the widow of murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in a new movie called "A Mighty Heart." –FOXNews.com

Daniel Pearl was the reporter captured by Muslim terrorists and beheaded; the video being shown around the world via the internet. So Ms. Jolie uses the film about a journalist, who gave his life in his pursuit of the truth to push her own political agenda,

“Jolie turns out to be a mighty hypocrite when it comes to her own freedom of the press. Her lawyer required all journalists to sign a contract before talking to her, and Jolie instructed publicists at first to ban FOX News from the red carpet of her premiere.” –FOXNews.com

What a slap in the face to the memory of Daniel Pearl. In her own subtle way, Ms. Jolie is deciding who will report on her and she will censor what they report.

It is time to show these Hollywood elitists what we think of them when they play politics. They have every right to speak their minds and express their opinions but they had better be prepared to face the consequences. It wouldn’t matter who she banned from her press conference, she has shown she only believes in freedom of the press if the press always agrees with her. I propose paying homage to the memory of Daniel Pearl by boycotting this film and hurting Ms. Jolie in the one place she will feel it the most; her wallet.
