RE:RE:RE:RE:Eric the fooled me onceFreedom of speech vs freedom from speech.
Peddlers of fortunes, are, of course free to trade their wares and say anything they want; but not on an official channel; that is an unfair advantage to the ordinary folk who are not given the floor by these channels to air their grievances or views. Their undue influence on the public is not taken into account by these channels like BNN, for instance. So as far as the public is concerned, this so called "freedom of speech" can only be countered by "freedom from speech", unless all are given access to these media. The Nut case and his ilk can find other ways to trade their wares and air their views. And herein lies the responsibility of these channels like BNN. But if they scratch each other's back with dollars, do not have any hope to that effect. Under the pretext of free speech they can brainwash the public. GLTA
