The National Press Club travesty
Edited on Mon Jun-23-08 12:35 PM by ProSense
Press club chief knocks the bloggers

Free speech = everyone has a right to be heard

NPC's interpretation of free speech = even known lie deserve a platform

I guess the next person who wants to charge a sitting Senator with murder (on edit: even if the charges are known to be scurrilous), let's say, will be able to count on NPC for a platform.

I'm sure this is the logic that allowed the Swift Liars to flourish in the MSM after the charges were known to be false.



Edit for clarification.


Oops, edit typos

4. I did.
Is NPR shorthand for National Press Club? I don't recognize it as anything but National Public Radio.

7. Well, I'm glad that got straightened out so as to not overshadow the point of the OP.
Sorry about that.
