A high-voltage session with three old pros, touching on media bias, the libel laws, and the Supreme Court. MK: "We've sat here over many years talking about the liberal bias of the press. You've written about it [to WFB] and you've written about it [to WAR], and yet we have Ronald Reagan as President. Somehow the liberal press was not able to stop this travesty, so the system is working, it seems to me, and I don't think we need any public or private mechanisms to chain or shackle the press." .. . WAR: "If I might say a word here for the real little guy, Bill, you are not the best example yourself. ... When somebody attacks you, as Lord knows they do from time to time, you are not utterly resourceless. The idea of you--" WFB: "No, I'm not saying I am." WAR: "--cowering in a corner if somebody calls you a Nazi?" WFB: "No, no, I wrote a best-selling book about the experience." WAR: "Not only a best-selling book--you have a column in two hundred-plus newspapers; you have a television program. The guy who
calls you a Nazi may live to regret having called you a Nazi, but what about the average person--even the average public figure--who doesn't have all those resources?"
