Umm, not the conversation I was having.  This isn't about 'special rights' 
or about any partisan right wing or left wing issues.  It's a question 
about what "freedom of the press" means in today's society.  In other 
words, my question was about whether a reporter, be it for radio or print 
or TV, has the right to cover a breaking story or if they have to get a 
corporation's permission in order to do their job.  (sound of Edward R. 
Murrow spinning in his grave...)
