Editor's Note: The following is a statement released by Media Research Center founder and president Brent Bozell this afternoon, reacting to the broadcast network media's blackout of a shocking development in Houston, Texas, where the city government subpoenaed the sermons of a handful of conservative churches that have been critical of the city's mayor, Annise Parker, and the city's enforcement of a new "equal rights" bill that would permit men who identify as transgendered females to use women's restrooms.

When the government mandates what a pastor can or cannot say, and criminalizes preaching the Bible, we’re no different than Red China. How in the name of God is that not national news?
