"come on,Government regulating Free Speech?
Goat watching the Cabbage-Patch?laugh"
Precisely.
Freedom of speech is totally different to giving away information hours after an attack,
That is just plain greed to sell a story and very insensitive to those involved in the attack.
We all know that the media sells this information to other outlets , this should stop. it's the media who are putting at risk normal people's freedom to speak out!
I quite agree, and I was not excusing that. What I was talking about, is that the only way to maintain freedom of the press, is to accept that sometimes the judgment of the publishers will be flawed, and that it will have to be criticized after the fact, just as you have. But that the only other solution, is to put an end to freedom of the press.
I'm talking about the clumsy results of an imperfect human exercise of an important ideal. I would similarly, like to have it NOT be true, that leading candidates and world leaders would make ill advised speeches, which caused various people elsewhere in the world, to commit heinous acts of one kind and another. But again, that would entail putting an end to the idea that any leader could exist, and be empowered to do anything GOOD, either.
