Failure of the press

William Bennett and Alan Dershowitz agree in a WaPo piece that the press has been cowed by Islamic extremism. Money quote:

When we were attacked on Sept. 11, we knew the main reason for the attack was that Islamists hated our way of life, our virtues, our freedoms. What we never imagined was that the free press -- an institution at the heart of those virtues and freedoms -- would be among the first to surrender.
