I see that GetReligion has picked up on the Citizen Voice/Jerry Springer the Opera story out of the UK. And it appears the discussion has gone over somewhat the same ground it did at connexions.

The twist is that a few commenters (you are required to register) are looking at it from a free speech and economic perspective without benefit of background.

I would like to let Get Religion know that as of this posting because of the actions of Mr. Green, the Opera’s US backer has pulled out for now.
That particular show is currently a none issue for the US.
We are unaware of what ‘action’ Mr. Green and his backers have decided to take toward the BBC and the producers of the show.
One of the theatres in the UK booked for the fall tour also pulled out.

Sometimes the devil is in the details.
A good a place as any to get background is a UK blog.

At connexions we’ve been following Citizens Voice, Mr. Green, the threats to the BBC executives, the media coverage and the intentions of a group calling themselves Christian; harrassing, threatening and bullying mainstream media executives (who required security) and the charity Maggie’s Centres.
