CENSORED! Bill Maher says GOP is run by closeted gays

Updated. Bill Maher said the GOP is run by closeted gays and specifically named RNC head Ken Mehlmanas one of them. (Via Blogactive) According to John in DC, CNN has demanded that the YouTube clip be removed and has doctored the transcript to remove this comment. HuffPo is still carrying it. As John in DC noted, what CNN censored was not just the specific allegation regarding Mehlman's sexuality, but the reason he gave for why he thought that senior gay members of the GOP are willing to get use anti-gay themes to win elections: that self-hate is a special kind of love. That was solid insight, that narcissism makes people who hate themselves direct their destructive impulses outward. That CNN would censor that segment goes to show just how committed they are to news vs. entertainment.

This example indicates the corporate media is committed to delivering neither news nor entertainment but instead is committed to promoting and protecting the image of the corporate party.
 
Granted, CNN isn't entertaining (especially when they try to be) and their news is reading more and more like the AP wire.
