To combat anti-Muslim sentiment.

The true story of an American soldier who recently became a Muslim and attacked American soldiers is newsworthy and should be told. But, since the broadcasters also have a directive from the Federal Government to provide a community service, I felt the story should have been followed by a story or thought about all the Arab American Muslims who are fighting for America against Al Qaeda and Saddam.

Wouldn't pairing a story with the first one have been doing a public service and being in the public interest? Or, does that fall under the interfering with freedom of speech and a free press idea to suggest this precaution against stirring up anti-Muslim feelings?

What's your feelings? Remember, the broadcasters had no legal mandate to run a positive Muslim thought after broadcasting that awful story about the traitor.
