SELECTIVE OUTRAGE ALERT!

I will now present you with two stories. Your assignment is to guess which one of these is the buzz of outraged conservative bloggers...

#1: Occupiers' proposed new code to regulate Iraq's media draws apprehension from journalists, Associated Press.

Faced with a freewheeling Iraqi media, the U.S.-led occupation authority is devising a code of conduct for the press, drawing protests from Iraqi journalists who endured censorship under Saddam Hussein and worry for their newfound freedom.

Coalition officials say the code is not intended to censor the media, only to stifle intemperate speech that could incite violence and hinder efforts to build a civil society. The country is just too fragile for a journalistic free-for-all, they say.

Or

#2: A motion by the Council of Europe (no, not the EU, which is an actual legislative body with the power to pass laws), recommending the creation of a system for right of reply to online media for factual concerns. (not opinion, mind you). The pertinent text:

(The Committee of Ministers) Recommends that the governments of the member States should consider introducing measures in their domestic law or practice so as to extend the right of reply to the on-line media along the lines of the following principles

I don't think you have to guess which one.

(i like how eager sully is to equate the council of europe with the eu . . . i also like that if you scroll a shade up, you find him linking to a murdoch-times piece attacking michael moore, commenting that europe is finally "catching up to him")

For sane commentary on story #2, go here and here. (other links from atrios and kos and elsewhere)
