I don't necessarily disagree, I just wish that if we're going to decide to nuke stuff like this I also don't have to see 5,000 word PG screed on the front page for half a week. It suggests a particular bias that I don't think actually exists to the degree people think.
Heh I was being sarcastic, but yeah, you can't really expect to discuss the MIC's worst crimes openly on a forum that represents an industry tied so closely to it.
