I pretty much agree with your comments but my concern is the effect that Arnett's firing has on other reporters in future situations. If the average reported will be afraid to say what he perceives is true if it isn't the current "group think" then that has an effect on what you and I will hear in the future.

So, its the future self censorship that will be affected that concerns me. I agree in truth Arnett was not censored. Part of me really wants to dance in the streets thinking Rather and Jennings might think twice before opening their mouths but part of me knows that is dangerous also.

Actually a true professional will continue on and take his chances, but stick to reporting facts. The problem is the new "media" has been indoctrinated in so much left wing bull cookies, that they are slanting every report (a la CNN) with every utterance. Censorship will only be an issue on the battlefield if you ask me.

On that subject, did you hear Drudge's tape of Rather in Europe? Holy cows, that will set you off, comparing the "neo-totalitarian regime in Washington" to "mid-1930's Germany"! I thought Drudge and Pat Buchanan were going to have a stroke last night!!!
