When we make newsmen (or even, talking heads) afraid to raise civil liberty questions, we will be just a dictatorship with pretenses.

Consider what another poster said about Ruby Ridge, or one closer to my home, Waco. While the media handling of the events at Waco are not as clear as they once were, I can tell you this: The Propaganda Ministry's concerns for the civil liberties of the Branch Davidians was nil. At best, they were a bunch of wacko, gun running, dope manufacturing Jesus freaks! THEY were a danger to society, and had to be dealt with.....harshly! Kids and all. How many in the media bemoaned the trashing of THEIR civil liberties?

The problem again, is the selective application of the Propaganda Ministry's cry of FOUL on civil liberties. The only pretense here is that of Aaron Brown as a news man. Surely you can see that?

Your post is a series of non-sequiturs: '1. The media did not respect the civil liberties of the Branch Davidians; 2. Aaron Brown spoke up for the civil liberties of accused terrorists; therefore, 3. Brown is no newsman.'

I see some pretenses here, but they are not Aaron Brown's.

Granted my post was not, nor was it intended to be, a legal brief.

That said, what are your thoughts on my "conclusion": The problem again, is the selective application of the Propaganda Ministry's cry of FOUL on civil liberties. ???????

No pretenses here my friend. Only trying to point out the subtle, and not so subtle ways of the liberal cheerleaders/waterboys.
