I agree with your assessment...contracts can be written in a manner to avoid conflicts of interest, but hamstringing journalists' ability to cultivate an independent audience and report on underplayed aspects of stories (or unrelated stories) should not be curbed. How ironic for bastions of 1st Amendment rights to so broadly curb such rights of their employees.
