PBS sucks because it doesn't have to be good to exist. Commerical TV and Radio have to have viewers/listeners to continue to exist. PBS does not, because it is taxpayer funded no matter how much it sucks. |

I think the only constraint on our press should be that they be prevented from issuing "We're going into Fallujah, promptly at dawn tomorrow", and "police will be raiding know drug houses tomorrow" reports. Having been a soldier, and given that I am currently in the process of joining the local sheriff's reserves, I find both of these reports completely out of line. I do fully support, and would welcome in any action that I am involved in, "heat of the action" and "after the fact" reports, however. There were many acts commited during the recent catastrophes in Louisiana, that were reported by the press, that I think should be tried in court; but when the "freedom of the press" compromises the safety of our military, our police, or our citizens, the people responsible should be held accountable--just as they are in "freedom of speech" cases. If a white supremacist incites violence against other races, he is not able (or, more appropriately SHOULD not be able) to hide behind the First Amendment. |
