It is not in our interest to disseminate these recordings. We are reviewing all of our video content and will add that which we determine to be free of electoral statements to this page."</p> <p>I don't quite understand how these things work, but whatever. Two sources have told me the reason Free Press did not include the speech was Klein's criticism of Barack Obama. It would be pretty fuckin lame if it were true. </p> <p>But fuck it, I got a hold of a copy of the speech and here it is.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/44466-it-s-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it-and-i-feel-fine-35">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/41499-who-controls-the-media-free-press-and-ownership 2009-01-08T00:39:36Z bugbee <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xz5t80b77j4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xz5t80b77j4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/41499-who-controls-the-media-free-press-and-ownership"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/46789" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Robert W.
