rhetorical question for the day
If an unctuously moralistic Senator uses coarse language in Senate debate that is not fit to be printed in a newspaper -- and declines the opportunity to withdraw that language -- is it appropriate for the AP and the newspaper to take affirmative steps to pretend that it never happened, by editing his words? (see the last portion of this article; compare here, where the same paper's gossip columnist printed the actual words without ellipsis)
[I now see that Howard noted the same thing about the AP's report.]
