Stuff and nonsense. The gloating is not about the death of an organ of free speech as others have commented, any more than it would be if we were gladdened that a person who spoke twisted truths was heard no more. We upheld their right to be heard by not firebombing their offices and by maintaining the system of law that would punish such actions. No further support is owed to a particular speaker.

Put another way, you confuse the Bill of Rights with a license to lie, distort and mislead, free from criticism and free from the forces of the market place of ideas (and technology).

We need to figure out how to do this to network TV News. Fox is owned 10 or 15% with Saudi money. The rest are just as bad. They killed us in 008 and are killing us now with their messiah fawning.

You hit the nail on the head, JR. I would be more than happy to subscribe to any periodical (or daily news) that reported with true journalism. No bias, no trying to cram something down my throat that I don't believe, no lies, no distortions, no whining. Just investigated truth. Let me make up my own mind. (Looks like that is what RMN readers did, eh?)
