And I don't want to hear First Amendment Rights on this one. Freedom of the Press carries with it an implicit understanding of truthfulness. This is really no different than court rulings that screaming "fire" in a crowded theater is not protected as Free Speech.

"Freedom of the Press carries with it an implicit understanding of truthfulness."And responsibility.
Newsweek should have known that reporting this "story" would have negative consequences given the fanaticism of our enemy, whether the story were true or false. Was it that important?
That's the issue that everyone seems to be overlooking.

And I don't want to hear First Amendment Rights on this one.Newsweek attacks the 2nd Amendment all the time, yet an article they ran has killed more people than anyone with a gun could possibly do.
