“Bill thinks all the internet should be monitored and policed with NEW laws.”

Naive, I am. However, and I don’t dispute your statement, I need a bit more before I can digest this as truth. If true then, for me, it means the end of Bill as a voice of reason.

I have noticed that his arrogance has, on occassion, compromised his capacity to deal fairly with issues.

Having said the above, in what manner, specifically, has Bill proposed to legislate the internet? In other words, what law has he proposed? After all if it is merely his thought that sites should better monitor themselves by using outside monitors or whatever that is all together different than proposing to pass laws to monitor sites.

Bill is not proposing a new law...he is preparing the soil for it's planting. Isn't that what all good "journalists" do nowadays?

If you can listen to his radio program from yesterday you will hear that is what he said.

I don’t know if you can get it without being a premium factor member.

You don’t have to take my word for it, but I tell ya I listened yesterday and that is what he said.

No more radio factor for me. period

Imagine if we had an new law establishing journalistic malpractice.

Eliminate the damage issue. Sensationalistic and deceptive reporting would be subject to scrutiny by the courts without regard to actual damage.
