The principle is not that they shouldn't have fired him (or at least reprimanded him and publicly distanced themselves from his comments). It might be that they should reprimand or fire others who have henceforth escaped their institutional bias. And I say this not merely because they get some of their funding from taxes, but because it would be more in line with their stated journalistic intentions. > **as I said, I object to tax money funding a liberal bias. You'll get no disagreement from me on that point, and I'll expand it to funding media of any bias or of no bias (if such a thing is possible), especially at the federal level. I have slightly less qualms about states or municipalities funneling some of their tax proceeds (or tax breaks) towards media, if they deem it in their interest to do so to do so. -- Nick -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
