Bush orders copies of Constitution removed

So, the whistleblower law doesn't apply every time an journalist employee disagrees with what his employer deems '"true news". How shocking.

It makes legal sense for the station's attorneys to decide to adopt the strategy of proving in court that they get to decide what to publish on their station (easy) than to prove what's actually true in the story in question (hard).

The coverage you cite of this court case is a true model of journalistic integrity and objectivity too. So...jinx...you'd feel justified publishing your original statement as news with what you finally offered as citations to back it up? And you claim *Fox* makes things up? Pot, kettle, etc.
