The public's sacred right to know.

Thomas Sowell writes about the ridiculous media frenzy over Dick Cheney's hunting accident, but his words apply equally to the Mohammed cartoons,

The media love to wrap themselves in the mantle of "the public's right to know" but there is no such dedication to that right when it goes against the journalists' own prejudices.
Or shields their own cowardice.

I just want to know where the media was when we had BB gun fights as kids. Where is my fame and air time? Did not the BBs sting me? Did I not bleed when they were extracted?

I'd change the channel, but it's all that's on.
