>>something else that we could consider before taking the drastic step of reducing freedom of speech? We could consider editorial responsibility - responsibility for what you amplify. The Fairness doctrine did a not bad job while it lasted.

The point of the example was that nothing is absolute, or should be absolute, even freedom of speech.
