But that gets back to what Ann was saying.

A college professor is supposed to be able to share his ideas, no matter how offensive, and keep his job. However, a newspaper columnist, or politician, is not given that same protection.



Ah...I haven't read any of that. I kinda popped into this thread in the middle of the Ward Churchill discussion. When I came across this editorial, I thought that since you guys were talking about him, you'd find it interesting.

Anyways...

If Ann Coulter is merely saying that newspapers, columnists, and politicians ought to be able to speak their minds just as college professors can, I'll agree with that. There should be non-biased journalism as well, but I have no objection to columnists and editorials and politicians speaking their minds. And if I disagree, then I disagree.
