"'Me speech' is a common practice among rich and influential Americans. Practitioners of 'me speech' use the phrase 'free speech' quite a bit. But what they mean is free speech for themselves. They want a monopoly on it."
... These people suppress the freedom of speech. But because they repeat the phrase 'free speech' quite a lot, the media will often associate them with the idea."
