Fascists for Tolerance
do what we tell you!!!one!!
It is important to remember that while the constitution guarantees freedom of the press, freedom depends on fairness in the press.
Only people who understand different points of view can exercise an informed decision in the voting booth. Freedom of the press did not invent democracy. Democracy invented freedom of the press. ...Bias is not necessarily what you believe in, but it can be reporting a story and leaving out other people’s valid beliefs.
he first amendment also guarantees freedom of speech, which is linked to another favorite word in today’s world, ‘diversity.’ But diversity is not just skin color, economic status, geography and religion. It is also diversity of thought.
The greatest danger to journalism is a newsroom or a profession where everyone thinks alike. Because then one wrong turn can cause an entire news division to implode. We must respect and encourage diversity of thought and speech in the newsroom.
Of course journalists have opinions. If you don’t have an informed opinion, you might not be too smart. And if you can’t cover something you don’t agree with fairly, you might be a weak journalist.
...Recently a man in Iran said that not only should we wipe Israel off the face of the earth, but we must imagine a world without Americans. And I thought to myself, imagine a world without America. And then I thought if that were to happen, God help the world. Thank you.
This is the speech Toady Kennedy walked out on.
