Yes, but print journalists in America are constitutionally protected in their right to accept money for printing propaganda.

Sure, they can be on Saddam's payroll. But let's know about. How long do you think Peter Jennings would last in his position if he were on the list?

A member of government taking bribes for his duties is illegal; a journalist in the pay of a foreign government is not. But let us know who they are - I hope we will find out more soon - then we can better judge their "objectivity."

Broadcast Journalism is Illegitimate--basically because the enabling legislation which created broadcasting gives the FCC licensee a louder voice than the non-licensee. I stipulate that broadcasting couldn't exist without that system--but then, to apply FCC-style regulation to print and to personal speech would be to make the First Amendment a dead letter.

So why speculate on how long the FCC would allow a journalist on a foreign payroll? Broadcast journalism itself shouldn't exist in the first place.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if Petah were on the list.
