"The Public Does Not Have a Right to Know" Co-founder of CNN, Says :snip:
SCHONFELD: Abu Ghraib is the greatest foul up of all time. Those pictures were on the internet. The problem is not that we were - we - I only wish the Pentagon could have been able to deny that story, to be able to li - that's the right of the Pentagon to lie, when it is in the country's best interest to lie, you do lie. And when I made that statement in my book, an undersecretary - well - at Defense told me I don't have it quite right, the - uh - Rumsfeld, the Secretary can never lie but any, anybody under him can, that you have to do it when it's in the public, in the government interest.

From the COMMENTS:"Can we please define responsibility? What you're advocating is not state-controlled, but it is still controlled, is it not? Someone is still deciding what we should and should not be allowed to know. Sometimes news is unpleasant. Sometimes outrage is needed to enable change.
Let's say that the Koran-abusing story is true, just for argument. If it's not reported, then no one knows that it has occurred, therefore it is accepted and can continue.
The present US administration is rather a loose cannon and the US media at present, not just Fox, is doing a damned bad job of keeping the US people informed of it."
