TJ wouldn't have had a problem with this. Why do you? :hmm:

I don't have a problem with it. I was just commenting on TteFAboB's remark about freedom of speech.

I agree: if you work for someone, it's their call.

[quick edit] No, actually I was misunderstanding the obvious, and looked up a quote about governments and the press. You're right, but I really don't have a problem with it.

I'm conflicted on this issue. The press, however modest it is in this case, should be free and is protected from government influence. That being said, with freedom comes responsibility. I believe Mr. David McSwane was irresponsible in his use of his freedom. Because of that he should have been dismissed. To do otherwise opens the floodgates to other irresponsible behavior.
