Faux News - License to Lie?

Apparently the courts have ruled in favor of Faux News that freedom of speech protects the right of news media to lie. I guess it's time to try to make their name officially "Faux News."

U.N. Attacks Freedom of Speech?

The United Nations has sunk pretty low by passing a resolution urging nations to pass laws outlawing the criticism of religion. Obviously, the U.N. can't dictate the laws of sovereign nations, but this certainly makes a major statement about how blindly religious the world is.

The right resolution to pass would be one that encouraged member nations to pass laws protecting the criticism of religion. Encouraging people to be closed-minded is horrible because people being closed-minded is what leads to wars.

Freedom Of Speech Needs To Be Protected

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is fighting a battle to protect freedom of speech in blogs.

Why is it that one of America's founding principles, freedom of speech, is under so much attack these days? Even the realm of anonymous blogs is under attack. Why should a blogger be forced to reveal his identity against his will? If there is no reason to expect a blog will incite others to commit crimes or otherwise cause anyone harm, why is there a problem?
