Political Jihad?

For years I have listened to our primetime network news casters. I have loved, hated sometimes trusted, and for the most part, respected their views and opinions. Even when I resented those opinions and thought they were biased, I respected their right to express them as long as they clearly delineated opinion from fact.

I am dismayed and alarmed to read today in the news the comments from todays "panel" of journalist, banded together to defend Dan Rather. Say it's not so!! Could these same journalist who have had the freedom for all these years to express their opinions, the right we all share as Americans, think free speech, that disagrees with them or attacks them in someway, can be thought of as a political jihad?

The same people who supposedly embrace free speech at any cost? Are we not allowed to share the same priveledge they have had for years, to express our opinions freely amongst ourselves and with the world?

Are they the NEW ESTABLISHENT........

Tom Brokaw was quoted Saturday as stating, "What I think is highly inappropriate is what going on across the Internet, a kind of political jihad ... that is quite outrageous," the NBC anchor said at a panel on which all three men spoke."
