In what way?
Are not the papers STILL allowed to print the TRUTH about things??
I bet the folks that think it’s no big deal to have a vid of you having intercourse publicized without your permission are the same folks that are ok w/TSA patdowns and scanners.
Screw “press freedom.” You don’t have it. I don’t have it. But the CNNBCBSFOX corporate monolith has it in abundance and wants to keep it. For what? So they can all report the same BS. So that they can be the arbiters of taste, immorality, and politics. Or said another way, so that they can have power.
This so-called “press freedom” that none of us plebes has ever tasted isn’t worth a plug nickel. I hope Mr. Thiel and his ideological allies bankrupt the media.
Exactly. They just want to be able to hide behind the shield of “actual malice” and recklessly print garbage and lies. The media is nothing more than a propaganda arm for liberals that are of a certain religion.
what’s good for gawker is good for the old gray whore
Modern libertarian views are usually libertine, not classically liberal.
True liberty implies social responsibility, as the Founders well understood. Gratuitously destroying the “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness” of any citizen - rightist or leftist - is not Constitutionally protected.
Gawker unnecessarily instigated all of this; now they are complaining because they have reaped a measure of what they have sown.
