'Extreme' judicial activism

There's an old saying in the legal community: "Bad facts make bad law." Activist judges continue to prove that bad judges make bad law. The Jan. 20 decision in U.S. v. Extreme Associates dramatically shows just what judicial activism really is and the real dangers that it poses to society. The Justice Department had brought a 10-count indictment against a company called Extreme Associates, which produces films that, according to one report, "even porn veterans find disturbing." Extreme co-owner Janet Romano, whose "professional" name is Lizzy Borden, admitted in a May 2001 interview that women in their films, receive real physical beatings. Her husband, Robert Zicari, boasted that the films — which depict rape, torture, and murder — represent "the depths of human depravity" and proudly admitted that the ones involved in the indictment meet the legal definition of obscenity.

This has really gone too far!

Tell me if I'm wrong. I conduct a totally unscientific study as I peruse the media. It seems that Democratic legislators write op/eds or even just hold press conferences whenever they want, and whatever they are on about becomes news and is immediately published all over the MSM. Now, here are senior Republican legislators, and they can only get published in the relatively lowly Washington Times, which is deried anyway as right-wing.

For all their denial of bias, isn't there anyway the lions of the MSM can get their noses rubbed in this unfairness?
