How does a guy who makes his living via the First Amendment think free speech is a bad idea? and who would he have decide what's a lie and what isn't? Ultimately, if this becomes an issue, the government will decide, and then his free speech is threatened.

"They [La Prensa] accused us of suppressing freedom of expression. This was a lie and we could not let them publish it." -- Nelba Blandon, Interior Ministry Director of Censorship, quoted in the New York Times in (wait for it) ...1984.

I was in the room covering the session when Blandon said that. I was one of the people who reported the quote. (The only one? I don’t know, but I didn’t see it elsewhere.)
