I realize everyone likes to bash big media companies, but it's a stretch to imply that they did anything wrong in this case, let alone than anything worse than what CBS did by actually pulling a story. As far as I can tell there's no evidence that NBC or the WSJ actually ran anything, just a suggestion from some lawyers that the MPAA try to get them to do so. Perhaps if this hadn't leaked out then the desired stories would've appeared, in which case you might have a point, but there's no way to know one way or the other. Go ahead and dislike NBC and WSJ if you want, but smearing them because someone WANTED them to do something THAT THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO is pretty outrageous.

This is a baseless smear on journalists at NBC Universal and News Corp
