THE MEDIA LOVES REAGAN AND WILL BERATE YOU IF YOU DON'T

Julie Staley, a television reporter for WICS in Springfield, Ill., took to shouting and insulting a gay-rights activist who had written in Ronald Reagan's "public memory book," reports the Chicago Reader.

WICS news director Susan Finzen says, "She had a right to express her opinion. Why does he consider it all right for him to express his opinion but not her?"

Perhaps because there's a difference between journalists, who are supposed to at least feign fairness, and people who like to shout down folks with whom they disagree.
