Usually, I like reading Jack Cafferty, but this post just pisses me off. I've read this man's life story in It's Getting Ugly Out There, so I know he's not saying this from a position of having anything handed to him in life. But Jack Cafferty could probably use some reminding of a few things:
1- His job is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. His freedom, as well as his boss's freedom, to do the stories they want to do the way they want to do them may not be abridged by Congress and can only be removed for inaccuracies or dishonesty.
2- Jack got his start on public airwaves. They are rented out for free to networks/stations, in exchange for public service announcements and excluding obscenity.
It's almost as if Jack's opportunity to work his way up from a hellish childhood was made possible by someone watching over.... and protecting his chosen industry.... almost... sort of like... a fucking nanny.
