But they will be all up in arms and crazy if a anti abortionist shows pictures of a aborted baby in the news.

A Free Press Is an Ugly Press
We need to define terms. A free press would not be a homogenous press. A non-homogeneous press would have internal conflicts and would not circle the wagons around a reporter who used fraudulent documents to attack a political opponent.

A non-homogeneous press would not change the meanings of words, and create new expressions, to promote a single political perspective.

But they will be all up in arms and crazy if a anti abortionist shows pictures of a aborted baby in the news.
Certainly - because that could only be the act of a non-homogeneous, actually free, press. And nothing, to them, could be "uglier" than that.
