Massachusetts Extreme Feminists Have a Cool New Website called “Free Press” that is “Under-the-Radar”
          We’ve discovered that a new national website called “Free Press” is in reality a front for lesbians and other radical feminists --- and is headquartered right here in the beautiful Connecticut River Valley in Northampton, home of Smith College. 
          It’s been in business for four years.
          We discovered Free Press while surfing on Google. It says it is a “national media reform organization.”  It criticizes the national media just as we do.       
          We were drawn to it while trying to determine whether Pinch Sulzberger and the New York Times own the “Discovery” channel. It gave us some useful information on that, as well as on the History channel and the National Geographic.
          It says it is neither a “liberal” nor a “conservative” organization.   It even mentions well known conservatives with the implication that they support Free Press. These include Brent Bozell, Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association, Senator Trent Lott, Phyllis Schlafly and former Senator Jesse Helms.
          Under a question, “Who Leads the Media Reform Movement,” it says, “Free Press is one of a burgeoning number of groups active in media reform.”
          If one bothers to search a little more, he will find that its President is a professor at the U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and has written extensively and is closely affiliated with National Public Radio. Also on the Board is the President of NOW and the Washington correspondent of The Nation magazine.
          Although they also list the Stanford lawyer, Lawrence Lessig, as a Board member, he does not return the favor and does not mention Free Press on his personal website. Lessig is a conservative who clerked for both Judge Posner on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court. After law school, Lessig spent some time at Oxford and is in the process of rethinking his beliefs. If he ever did flirt with Free Press, he has apparently thought better of it, but they will continue to clench him as tightly as they do Jesse Helms.
          There are many people listed as “staff” who have connections to radical organizations in the Northampton area.
