There is no absolute right to "freedom of the press".
With each and every "Freedom of..." RIGHT in the Constitution, there is a "Responsibility for..." implied. These children called "journalists" are behaving completely irresponsibly, and it is time that changed.
As pointed out so many times in the past, you have no "right" under the US Constitution to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. You have no "right" to "freedom of religion" if, for example, your "religion" dictates human sacrifice.
Journalists do not now, or have they ever in the past, had a complete "right" to publish anything their irresponsible selves wanted to...
Censorship was NORMAL in WW2, and it has to be brought back NOW in order to protect our troops and the rest of the world from these completely irresponsible reporters run amuck. Their editors haven't been keeping them in check ever since Watergate - and now they are encouraging them.
Take a look at Ann Coulter's piece here: 'NEWSWEEK DISSEMBLED, MUSLIMS DISMEMBERED'

Thanks for the link.
Interesting piece by Coulter which it is hard to disagree with, but even she concedes that it is not entirely fair to blame Newsweek for the behaviour of the islamic savages.
I don't disagree that the majority of the MSM is fairly useless and an immoral waste. The reporting tends to be so infected with liberalism and PC'ism that it is downright nausating. You should try to read the Scandinavian press. It is far worse even, yet our own CAIR equivalents rants and raves about islamophobia and racism in our media, and the media gently obliges them. Yet one of the major newspapers in Norway recently called Ann Coulter the wicket hag of the American right. It's safe to attack in that direction...
As for wartime censorship...
Sure. Don't let the enemy know that B-52 bombers are heading in their direction. But, do not censor an article making fun of moustaches because it might enrage the fuhrer.
I guess what worries me is that when a fairly useless article about Koran and toilets, whatever its editorial merits, causes global mayhem, that the focus is put on Newsweeks editorial practices and not on the whacky reaction of the islamic savages. The scary part though, is that I fear the islamic reaction is not so "wacky" afterall, and that it is part of a calculated strategy.
A strategy that seems to be rather succesful.
Afterall it is time proven.
Cheers.
