Current.com Censors Blagojevich Coincidence Story

We were happy to see that the member-submitted news media site Current.com ran our recent post on TV (See clip below).

We were early to break the story about Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich being taken into federal custody. We noted that the timing of the arrest came only one day after the Illinois Governor announced that he has suspended all state dealings with Bank of America until the bank reissues credit to the Chicago based company Republic Windows & Doors, a factory which had to lay off 250 workers. The move was a bold show of support for workers by the Illinois Governor. This was included in the submitted Current.com story (View it HERE) yet completely omitted from the TV airing.

Current has a user voting system in which members vote for a story, and the most popular stories are aired on TV. Our post remains among the top stories of the day (in it’s entirety), yet they’ve decided to edit out the B of A “Coincidence.”

Needless to say we’re very displeased in a website which proclaims to be 100% member submitted news, yet censors as it sees fit. I suppose that Bank of America is on the sponsor list.
