The New York Times has an interesting story on accusations of local media bias headlined "Maryland Governor Is Sued Over Step Against Journalists." Excerpt:
The Baltimore Sun filed suit against Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. of
Maryland on Friday, asserting that he violated the paper's First Amendment rights by prohibiting state employees from talking to two Sun journalists. The suit, filed in federal court in
Baltimore, intensifies a feud between The Sun and Mr. Ehrlich, a Republican who contends that the 167-year-old newspaper has a liberal bias.
The AP has this report on the matter. I hope both sides stick to their guns here. It would be fascinating to observe how the constitutional issues play out in such a case.
