Why are all these sites "interconnected":

Go Left
Samuel Warde
If You Only News
Addicting Info
Reverb Press
Everlasting GOP Stoppers

And not joke at all, what the local Fox News Affiliate did was wrong by "editing" the clip to their favor however, is this something that the White House can fix?

First, Fox News has defined themselves as "entertainment" and not "News" (yes, we know news is in their title but everyone with a brain know that they are not in any way news).

Second, so Democrats are in the World now of limiting Free Speech. Even Free Speech we don't agree with. Isn't that action in itself, Republican like?

Third, why is this petition popping up on DU....and all over Facebook, and Twitter, and Reddit and wherever else in Social Media. Who is behind this and better yet, who are behind all of these sites?

These are valid questions that need detailed answers before placing one's name on any petition.
