What do you think a journalist is? A free press means people are free to express their opinions in print. His opinions are disagreeable, but in a free country you allow them. In fact the First Amendment is there specifically to protect dislikeable ideas. In this case Russert is wrong dead wrong and Novak just happens to have landed on the correct side of the issue.

Have you taken a civics class? They should have covered this point there.
