MCI coming together to fire Glover....

If this can be believed, MCI is dropping Danny Glover as a spokesperson due to his anti-war views and activism.

Normally, I'm not eager to jump to defend a celebrity's right to schill for corporate America.

But it's already bad enough that everything we see, read and hear through corporate media is falling under the control of fewer and fewer giant companies. Now, those behemoths want to control even the minds of their actors and spokespeople.

If you want to let MCI know how you feel about this, go here.

And, by the way, don't credit (or blame) Joe Scarborough for MCI's actions. This Modern World says here that MCI has been looking for a reason to drop
Glover for some time.
