What kind of limit on free speech is that? Seriously, Pogo, you have my jaw dropping with your support that Hansen's opinion of what is misleading should be a crime.

No invitations to Hansen's coronation are forthcoming to me, so I guess I can be against Hansen on his odd opinions of who should be locked up and who shouldn't. I'm safe...for now.
It certainly shouldn't rest on mere opinion of what constitutes disinformation.

Furthermore, are we really talking about "free speech"? Seems to me that purchasing airtime from private media conglomerates has little to nothing to do with free speech, unless one takes free speech to be a commodity to be bought, sold and traded like any other commodity, which strikes me as absurd.
