Chilling effect alert!
From James Taranto's Best of the Web:
So let's see if we have this straight. A congressional committee intimidates a private broadcaster into changing his programming decisions, and this is supposed to be a victory for the First Amendment? The Sun notes that McCain last month "proposed legislation that would require industry giants such as Clear Channel to sell some holdings."

McCain seems to have forgotten the First Amendment's first five words: "Congress shall make no law . . ."
All the whiners forget the first 5 words.
