ERNIE PYLE JUST ROLLED OVER IN HIS GRAVE

CNS News reports, “New York Times Tells Its Reporters Not to Carry Guns“.

I love this line:

“The carrying of a weapon, for whatever reason, jeopardizes a journalist’s status as neutral,” Times spokeswoman Catherine Mathis told CNSNews.com.

Why is a reporter for an American newspaper neutral? As someone once asked of CNN, “Who do you think you are? Switzerland?”
