Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[brainlessone]

its a good question. Say I continually broadcast things that were just not true, but claimed they were news, and they were against the continuation of the country? Should the powers that be shut me down?

What if the population was 60% illiterate, and most of their "news" came from this source ?

Does free speech have to not be slander, libel or falsehood, or confined to a small subgroup of people?

Does it make a difference if I get a soapbax and permit to demonstrate and state that all Christians are infidels and should be killed or if I get a TV station, maybe 100 TV stations and say the same thing?

Is it OK to do it in a park in London, but not on MSNBC?

to me it makes a great deal of difference if the news is portrayed accurately and without connotation and innuendo. Chris Matthews team went to Iraq and quoted Shittes saying they hate Al -Jazeera (nothing on Al arabia that I heard) because it lies and should be shut down. Should those voices be heard also

thats the same problem Franks was talking about.
