How did the company come to produce a record glorifying the murder of police, which is entitled Cop Killer by the rapper Ice-T on the album Boby Count? The album is released by Warner Bros. Records, part of the Time Warner media and entertainment conglomerate.
In a Wall Street Journal oped piece laying out the company's position, Time Warner co CEO Gerald Levin makes two defenses. First, Ice-T's Cop Killer is misunderstood. "It doesn't induce or glorify violence...It's his fictionalized attempt to get inside a character's head...Cop Killer is no more a call for gunning down the police than Frankie and Johnny is a summons for jilted lovers to shoot one another.' Instead of "finding ways to silence the messenger", we should be "heeding the anguished cry contained in his message".
This defense is self-contradictory. Frankie and Johnny does not pretend to have a political "message" that must be "heeded". If Cop Killer has a message, it is that the murder of policemen is a justified response to police brutality. And not in self-defense, but in premeditated acts of revenge against random cops. Killing policemen is a good thing—that is the plain meaning of the song, and no "larger understanding" of black culture, the rage of the streets or anything else can explain it away. As in much of today's popular music, the line between performer and performance is purposely blurred. These are political sermonettes clearly intended to support the sentiments being expressed. Tracy Marrow (Ice-T) himself has said, "I scared the police, and they need to be scared". That seems clear.
The company's second defense of Cop Killer is the classic one of free expression: "We stand for creative freedom. We believe that the worth of what an artist or journalist has to say does not depend on preapproval from a government official or a corporate censor".
Of course Ice-T has the right to say whatever he wants. But that doesn't require any company to provide him an Outlet. And it doesn't relieve a company of responsibility for the messages it chooses to promote. Judgment is not "censorship". Many an "anguished cry" goes unrecorded. This one was recorded, and promoted, because a successful artist under contract wanted to record it. Nothing wrong with making money, but a company cannot take the money and run from the responsibility.
The founder of Time, Henry Luce, would have scorned the notion that his company provided a value-free forum for the exchange of ideas. In Luce's system, editors were supposed to make value judgments and promote the truth as they saw it.
In the eyes of the author, Ice-T's Cop Killer should be condemned for ______.
A.praising acts of violence against police.
B.seeking to earn enormous sums of money.
C.working under contract with a company.
D.exercising revenge against random cops.

Some celebrities don’t want letters. In 2008, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr announced openly that he would throw them out because he was too busy. Others do attempt to get through it themselves. Robert Pattinson, star of the Twilight films, claims that he reads“tones and tones”of letters from fans.
Many artists, however, outsource(外包 ) the tasks of opening, reading and replying. Sylvia Taylor, 58, has run a service in California that does just that since She and her staff deal with up to 20,000 items of mail a month on behalf of 26 celebrities.
Most letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration, she says. A few ask for money. A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity ’s security tea m and the police.
The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence. Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals, and the letters: most of them just get recycled.
Typically, correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed “autograph(亲笔签名)”. For some, this is enough, according to Lynn Zubernis, an expert at West Chester University. She says that the relationship between fans and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply-rooted human need for community.
56.Where were the unopened letters to singer Taylor Swift found?
What will Sylvia Taylor do if fans are threatening her celebrity clients?
Who told fans not to send any letters?
What do fans usually get in return if they write letters to celebrities?
Which word in the passage is the closest in meaning to “public figure ”?
