Charlie Hebron's latest issue prompts ethics debate

Fodder for media ethics debate:


From Dylan Byers of Politico:
"Does a free media have an obligation to respect the preferences of a religious group, or any group? I certainly don't have the answer to that question. But it stands to reason that if a free media has an obligation to not offend one group, then it has an obligation to not offend all groups -- right down to restricting profanity in order to satisfy the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
