So you say we must choose between losing freedom of the press and losing democracy? I say you lose democracy if you lose freedom of the press.

There's already boundaries on what the press can and cannot print (libel, etc). Gotta get out of Constitutional Law 101

  • Right. You must be referring to the libel laws that have specific exemptions for politically powerful or otherwise publicly prominent individuals specifically to avoid intrusion into freedom of the press. And you think that helps your point?
