- lillecarl 3y agoPersonally I feel like the media inhibiting freedom of speech when they're pushing their list of OK things to think down people's throat and stigmatize even discussing certain topics.
- estomagordo 3y agoAs what you describe does not limit anyone's freedom of speech, you're factually wrong though.
- depressedpanda 3y agoThat's a myopic take. Soft enforcement is still enforcement.
- estomagordo 3y agoBut nobody described any enforcement here.

- throw-4e451c8 3y agoBoth parts of that sentence stand on their own. How do you feel that omitting the first part changes the meaning of the second part? Also: please take a moment to read the HN guidelines on comments.
- jruohonen 3y agoI apologize for calling someone a propagandist.

- Cthulhu_ 3y agoWell, criticism is an opinion; everyone is entitled to their opinions (freedom of speech), but I expect neutrality from journalists. That is, a journalist can report on immigration, but a personal opinion (or criticism) has no place in the news itself. Journalism and personal opinions or interpretations of the news should be kept separate IMO.
- throw-4e451c8 3y agoDo you see anyone here arguing that journalistic reports should be biased by personal opinion? You're making quite some leaps there.
