Government's role regulating free speech needs to be as limited as possible. The freedom allowed under the 1st Amendment isn't always attractive, yet to limit free expression is always the worst possible option.

You missed something else. If this is from the AP...where's the Cindy Sheehan photo-op of the day? I thought their new style sheet promised "a Cindy in every story"?

I spotted another example of dubious reporting at NBC. I smell the next media meme in the wind. Here is the email I sent to nightly@nbc.com with the details:
Dir sirs,
I am writing concerning inaccurate reporting in the following news story:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10564550/
In it, the party affiliation of Republican officials is repeatedly noted in connection with Abramoff. However, the story fails to point out the Democratic affiliation of Max Baucus. In fact, only the Republican party is mentioned in connection with potential wrongdoing while the Democratic party connections are omitted.
This is a striking omission considering that among the most powerful Democratic Congressman all the way up to the Democratic leader of the Senate, Harry Reid, have been connected to Abramoff:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/02/AR2005060202158.html
This leaves only two possible explanations. First, this may be an example of shoddy journalism. I would expect better work from such a seasoned and highly regarded journalist as Andrea Mitchell. Alternatively, the omission could be construed as an example of partisan media bias and selective reporting. Once again, I would expect better from Ms. Mitchell. Neither explanation is flattering and both warrant corrective action.
Sincerely,
