"The Saudi-funded Muslim lobby has found a new target: a conservative broadcaster that warns of terrorist plots against the United States. Arab and Muslim groups have launched a campaign to block the hiring of Glenn Beck as a commentator on ABC's "Good Morning America." The Arab American Institute, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and Muslim Public Affairs Council, said Mr. Beck engages in anti-Arab and anti-Muslim rhetoric and his hiring would incite hatred....
In a Jan. 18 letter, ABC President David Westin appeared to rule out any reversal of his decision to hire Mr. Beck. But he said "Good Morning America" senior executive producer Jim Murphy would be in touch with the organizers to discuss how ABC would respond to any statements by Mr. Beck that would anger the Muslim lobbyists.

The Leftist Media Matters site has some grumbles about the above report but carefully avoids to tackle the free speech issues involved. They probably don't believe there are any -- except for themselves, of course.
