The LA Times loves the First Amendment. But just for itself. After all, it is a newspaper, and its readers have no rights.
"Whatever its motives, CBS has made a bad call. There ought to be places in our lives that are free from profound confrontation. Focus on the Family has every right to produce its ad, of course, and CBS -- so long as its policies are evenhanded -- has every right to run issue-oriented spots. It really comes down to a question of taste and civility. You don't talk politics at the Thanksgiving table, and you really ought to be able to watch a football game without being confronted with another person's views on abortion, or the treatment of veal calves."
Now you know--there are limits to free speech--at Thanksgiving and on TV.
Guess the Times is concerned someone may learn the truth about an issue. Truth is seldom seen in the propaganda piece called the LA Times.
