The Olympic Freedom of No-Speech


10 days into the Olympics and the Chinese authorities have yet to allow a protest in the sanctioned areas for dissent. No word about Tibet. No word about organ-harvesting. No word about corruption. No word about the earthquake. No word about government officials selling commune land for a profit.

Although Yahoo Sports News reports that the US Swimmer Michael Phelps will celebrate his skein of 8 gold medals by going on a fast food binge.

Another example of free speech for the fearless news media of Yahoo.
