Only the senile, delusional or incredibly irresponsible would allow the continued broadcast of anti-American propaganda in time of war.

I don't read Helen Thomas so I didn't know that the old milkshake was such a poor writer.

What I wouldn't give for the opportunity to pull a chair out from under this woman.
And watch her twist slowly slowly in the wind.

Do Ms. Thomas' comments apply to President Clinton's and General Clark's targeting of Serb television during the war in the Balkans or are they reserved for Republicans. Clinton removed journalists from the White House that asked him questions he didn't like. Thomas sat silent, lizardlike.

Sweetie, if I could, I would ban you from "reporting." Be happy I am not in charge. (I use the word reporting loosely in your case)

Freedom of the Press is something required to keep a democratic system, not create it.
Until Iraq has enough democracy in place to develop it's own independent press, freedom of the press is pointless. It would be nothing more than allowing the enemy propaganda machine to keep working against us.

Yes, but....
Free to print anything OR free of directives on what to print.
That is the distinction I was making.
Now, do I recognize that a news organization can be private property, and that they have the freedom to print anything they desire. Yes, I do.
Yet, to the extent they are directed on content, they are not free WITHIN their own circle.
I am speaking of absolute freedom. Both outside one's news institution and inside one's institution.
Is it now clear as mud?
FAIR journalism is totally free speech.
