I heard that Jim Goodmon of WRAL was so incensed by the legislative subpoena of WUNC-TV that he called Erskine Bowles – and urged him to fight it.
Of course, given the just-completed state budget, UNC was in no position to defy the legislature.
Both UNC-TV and the First Amendment probably will survive.
But the flap dramatizes the tension between UNC-TV’s status as a tax-paid institution – and part of the public university system – and its news operation.
I wonder what PBS would do if Congress subpoenaed one of its unaired stories.

Who gives a dam(N)? This story has been bubbling for years and only now does UNC-TV care to take a look. Reporter-types and everybody else, if you want people to give a dam/n about you, you have to give a dam/n about them. You're a few decades late.

This has nothing to do with the First Amendment. UNC-TV belongs to the people of North Carolina, and it's work products belong to us too. The state has every right to obtain, examine, and otherwise use its own property, and that is all this is really about. As much as I admire much of what public TV (and radio) has done for us, the people who run those enterprises have to realize that there is no constitutional requirement that the people give up their rights to their property just because those who hold and manage it feel really strongly that they should. If they want the full protections of the First Amendment for their work, let them work in the private sector, where their products will be truely THEIRS, not OURS.

If you think some one is hiding pollutants here, wait until someone has the courage to examine what the US military is doing in our sounds at their bombing ranges.
