A request for self-control and perspective is not the same thing as censorship. Nobody's calling for these people to be prosecuted.

There is a large component of the media doing their damnedest to see this war become "Vietnamized" and fail. There is nothing legal anyone can or should be able to do about that.

"Criticism is a sign of patriotism" we are told. Yeah, and beating your wife until her face looks like hamburger is a sign of love. There is criticism to make things better, and criticism with the sole goal of tearing something down.

Again, not much you can or should do about that.

But people have noticed which side they've chosen.

So, how are the newspaper circulation figures and network news ratings doing lately?
