<P>If you read what I wrore carefully, you'll see that I wasn't suggesting that Community Radio shouldn't report these activities - just that it shouldn't side with those involved against the rule of Law.<BR>
My views are bizarre? You find adherance to the Law of the Land bizarre?<BR>
It's surely not that hard to distinguish between exressing a controversial view and advocating illegal acts.<BR>
You don't change an unpopular rule by continually breaking it in a democracy.<BR>
Or perhaps you don't like the idea of democracy?<BR>If you're going to "Report the Unreported", you still have to make editorial judgements about what to include and what to leave out - so some form of bias will inevitably creep in.<BR><BR>
