The very existence of Fox News, meanwhile, sends Journolisters into paroxysms of rage. When Howell Raines charged that the network had a conservative bias, the members of Journolist discussed whether the federal government should shut the channel down.A UCLA law professor, Jonathan Zasloff, actually thinks the federal government can and should simply "yank" Fox News off the air. We never hear similar arguments from the other side. No prominent conservative has demanded that MSNBC be taken off the air. Actually, we'd miss the hilarity. I never heard any Tea Partier or conservative commentator call for the de-licensing of Air America. Sure, we actually get how business works and knew it was only a matter of time, but nobody was trying to stop crazy people from occupying the air waves. The difference comes from the very core of our beings. Liberal Moscow-on-the-Potomac operatives have no use for free speech unless it serves their cause. Our side never considers the possibility of forcing the opposition to shut up. It's not in our DNA. Point and laugh--sure. Just like when we see a Smart Car. But force them to be silent? That's never on the table.
