They ought to put an amendment to the First Amendment that says there shall also be freedom of hearing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We should silence anyone who opposes the right to freedom of speech.
Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
Freedom of expression and freedom of speech aren't really important unless they're heard. The freedom of hearing is as important as the freedom of speaking.
To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.
As to the media, they are protected by the First Amendment, as they should be.
Free speech includes the right to not speak.
Do we really want the FCC to conduct investigations and issue warnings to radio talk show hosts nationwide who simply discuss the important issues of our time? The Constitution says 'freedom of speech,' not 'freedom of government-approved fair speech in rationed amounts.'
Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen.
The First Amendment rejects red tape, cover-up and double-speak.
The First Amendment doesn't give anybody the right to be heard. People don't have to listen to you.
