there is such thing as freedom of speech! that's what makes these women role models! they are not afraid to say what they feel. better then having a fack persona and having people idolize someone they are not.

Dix Chicks whine about "censorship"...

Or is it their cunning movie backers, the Weinstein brothers? James Joyner notes that NBC is rejecting the claim that a Dixie Chicks TV spot critical of President Bush was refused: The spot was not declined. In fact, we were......

[...] The Dissing Chicks (otherwise known as the Dixie Chicks) think that if people don’t buy their music, it must be government censorship. Everyone knows their fans can’t live without the girls’ music. Outside The Beltway has a post, Dixie Chicks Claim Anti-Bush Ad Rejected in which he notes: Watching multi-millionaires whine about being ostracized by their fans after having gone out of their way to alienate them is, shall we say, less than gripping. I guess that while the chicks were learning about politics they weren’t learning anything about free market capitalism, in which the customer can buy what they want and not buy what they don’t want for whatever reason.

An image/text ad is showing up at Hot Air for their movie. And you know there are more Bush foreign policy fans at Hot Air than at NBC. I guess that's new-media vs. old-media for you.

First, this is not a movie I have any interest in seeing. Watching multi-millionaires whine about being ostracized by their fans after having gone out of their way to alienate them is, shall we say, less than gripping.

My thoughts exactly. But if they want to spend their millions promoting a for-profit video complaint about how people won't pay to listen to them... that has too much comedic value to reject. That's the epitome of millionaire brat stupidity.

Good to see the Dixie Chicks are still taking the'o' out of country.

I don't have to see the trailer to know this isn't a movie that would interest me, much for the same reasons.

The Dixie Chicks real mistake was that they forgot who their fan base was, and when they pissed off their fan base, rather than making apologies they blamed their fan base for being stupid. Not exactly a good way to keep the career going.

[...] The Dixie Chicks were never my cuppa. They are now chattering on about being silenced. Funny how that happens, isn’t it? Tim Robbins got to write and perform in a play about how he was being silenced by the “chill wind” of the Bushies, and now the Chicks are chattering all over the place. That’s some funny sort of silencing. [...]

[...] UPDATE: James Joyner reports that NBC denies they were asked to run the ads. In other words, this is looking more and more like apublicity stunt. Riehl World View: Who cares? Say Anything: Give me a break - staged. Just go take the cure for Dixie Chickitis. [...]

Dumb and Dumber... That's why I think it's part of a plan to increase exposure without running the ads. And it's not a bad strategy either. It increases the exposure at no cost to the studio....

I Second That Motion... "Let's just all pack up and move to Canada because this isn't our country anymore." That's John Avarosis's petulant response to NBC's decision not to air ads for the new Dixie Chicks documentary, "Shut up and Sing"--which, by the way,......

for as long as I can remember, yet they continue to go to the movies. And it’s unlikely that people will quit buying Toby Keith and Gretchen Wilson albums to teach the Grammy people a lesson.

Corporate media censorship or provocateurs' publicity stunt? James Joyner is pretty sure it's the latter. UPDATE: George Gooding notices some similarities between the latest Dixie Chicks "outrage" and phony accusations of censorship over Fahrenheit 9/11.
