King Henry Bans Free Speech?

Well not yet....
But the mainstream media is choosing its words carefully, and it seems a few are verboten:
The Wall Street Journal is also censoring itself on behalf of large banks. Its spokesman said the newspaper would “stay away from” the words “crash,” “panic,” “pandemonium” and “apocalypse.”
And CNN is clamping down on words like “meltdown” and “free fall,” according to its senior business correspondent Ali Velshi.
Too bad George Carlin did not live to see this. He made a career out of banned words...god rest his soul.
