Media must accept responsibility

So truly and wisely spoken.

The ideal solution lies not in creating censors' bureaus to pass judgment on television content but for media executives to accept their responsibilities in time of war.

The rub is the track record of a media, cloistered under the Constitution, with little sense of responsibility towards it's country in times of either war or distress.
