Nice Point Made By Don Surber

Don Surber: The vicious silence of NYT

The piece reminds me of how I actually gained respect for the ACLU when they defended the rights of Illinios Nazi to protest. Today, the ACLU - like the NY Times or LA Times only seem to defend the right to protest and free speech for people who agree with them. And like respect for the ACLU - respect for the mainstream media has long since slipped away.

Seriously - can anyone tell me of the last act of courage exhibited by a member of the American press? Don Surber mentions Ben Frankin who would have been hanged for sedition for his actions. That was courage of conviction - what courage of conviction have we seen from the MSM? If there was ever a profession in need of a hero - its today's print journalists.
