Because freedom of speech doesn't give you the ability to speak.
In France a comedian was grilled on TV for making anti-semetic jokes.
Next segment he was defended by his right of freedom of speech after making anti-islamic jokes.
Freedom of speech picks and chooses.

| I agree with free speech. To me, freedom is the lack of restrictions, and sometimes people are gonna do things that you don't like, so get over it. Short of anarchist societies, no society is truly free, because mankind has not advanced to the point where we either stop hurting people or realize that laws don't stop crime, just punish criminals. |

| free speech is okay as long as it isn't false. in my utopia the communist party is criticizable and you can argue with it, but you can't make up random crap about it. that's a no no and you get looked in jail for miseducating the masses. *cough* american education system *cough* republicans *cough* fox news *cough* |

@Magno
Thats the point of free speech
Free speech and free communication is a filter that filters out the lies, so you can find the truth.
Pople find the truth, not bureaucrats . |

That is where you are wrong.
People just need to have access to information to point out what is and what is not lies.
Have you ever watched TED? |

Your thinking of a world that doesn't have many sources of communication. The fact that they are capitalist or not doesn't matter. What matters is how many sources of information people have access to.
TED, for example is a program RAN BY CAPITALISTS, just spread ideas. From Science, to Culture, to Economics etc. |

| I'm saying that the bigger one's have more money and run ads and are plastered all over the place, while the more intelligent one's such as TED are left behind and not as well known because there's less money, because it's against the mainstream agenda |

Are you insinuating that only a select people are intelligent and most people get their information from the news? Libraries still exist, there are different news networks, THE INTERNET.

Now thats just a flat out lie.
Have you been anywhere that isn't your mother's basement?
it is evident that people get their information from all different places, but never just one.
Some news companies, like Fox, CNN, MSN just guess what their viewers want.
What you are confused with is the fact that these companies use COMMENTARY, which should be left to the people. The News just suppose to report the News. The people themselves can interpret what the news means to them. |
