Sure, I agree. If you were USian, I would defend to the death your right to speak openly and publicly about your concerns. [0]

And just because you feel strongly about your incorrect opinion about a widely-held-to-be-acceptable practice in USian journalism doesn't mean that I have to let that incorrect opinion pass by without comment.

It's a big world, and there are differing opinions on many, many things... morals (and the formation of explanatory systems overtop of the same) included.
