Newspapers Weigh in on Linda Ronstadt Flap in Vegas Casino

Read this in Editor and Publisher. This covers the editorial in The Times and many other sources.

I would have considered this shameful treatment for anyone, regardless of their particular views. Ronstadt didn't go into a long political harangue: she suggested people see the film, "Fahrenheit 911", and dedicated a song to its producer, Michael Moore.

In other words, stop saying America is the land of the free if you don't believe it. And if you want to stop any view besides your own from being expressed, you don't believe in freedom.
