Seems to me part of freedom is the freedom to hate and to express it no matter how offensive it may be to some people. Guess I got that wrong...

Internet has made it harder for the public to separate the facts from bigotry masquerading as news

The problem is not the internet. The problem is that people are too stupid to separate opinion from facts.

reading the comment section on The Hill sent chills down my spine.

Amazing how many fascists live amongst us.

A coalition of more than 30 organizations argue in a letter to the FCC that the Internet has made it harder for the public to separate the facts from bigotry masquerading as news.

This will be the undoing of ABCBSNBCMSNBC, etc., because the Internet, in many respects, has shown the bigotry masquerading as news!

Dan Rather's biased lying about GWB's National Guard records comes to mind.

Excellent. Publish the names and principles of the aforementioned 30 organizations.

Sure would be fun locating them...

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is being urged to monitor "hate speech" on talk radio and cable broadcast networks.

Getting into the "hate speech" designation is basically having one group tell another group that they don't like what they're saying. Sorry... that's not the free speech that should be available on the Internet and on the airwaves.

Sure, this kind of free speech means that things get "hammered" that I don't like to see getting hammered -- like people saying ridiculous things about Christianity (for example). But, I'll put up with that, so that -- on the "other side of the coin" that no one comes back and says I can't talk about things from what Christianity says, too ...

Those "others" can hammer away all they want on things like Christianity and I'll hammer right back ... LOL ... that's the kind of free speech that I like ... :-)

And these are the same groups pushing “net neutrality.”

The problem is that the Obama administration will be the ones deciding what is hate speech. What is this, Venezuela?

Yea!I think a good place for the FCC to monitor would be the three Terrestrial Networks,CNN,CNBC,MSNBC and any other left-wing loony broadcasters in the United States.

I haven't heard any So called Right-wing Talk Radio or TV networks threatening violence against our boy president.If I could type president smaller I would because this boy presently occupying that office is very small.That's why he has to constantly reaffirm that he's the president.

Hmm, why don't we start with the hate speech Bill Maher spewed the other day!? Oh, wait, I forgot, liberals get a pass on this one, too.

I keep hearing, 'You can't believe everything you read on the internet.' This is always from people whose truth meter is broken or who have relied all their life on someone else to tell them what is real.

The internet is the best freedom of speech vehicle we have ever had. Those who love freedom know this.
