Do you support a society where dissenting opinions are branded as smear campaigns? Or do you prefer for all journalists to agree with you? Is there evidence this is more than an individual's (and maybe an editor's) opinion? I'm not saying I thought the author's premises were relevant to his assertions; on the contrary, I think his argument was poorly-formed. I'm sure we can find embarassing quotes from the youth of almost every influential historical figure; everyone is entitled to change his or her own opinions.

>> Do you support a society where dissenting opinions are branded as smear campaigns? almost. I support a society where anyone has the right to launch a smear campaign - as long as anyone disagreeing with it is able to air their disapproval. We should all be able to say shit that is wrong or immature in public (especially when we're young) without being held accountable 10 years later.
