Where in Obama's speech does it say anything about limiting free speech? All I see is him pondering about how to be able to easily fact check some of the ludicrous op-eds that try to pass themselves off as news found on the WWW.



Up here in the GWN it is illegal to misrepresent editorials as news, it a sure-fire way to lose your broadcast license. This is why FOXNews was unable to acquire a license up here. Maybe the US should consider a similar approach. Or at least make broadcasters make it apparent a story is an editorial and not factual news via a banner or text box.



As for internet based "information" well they will just have to trust that the consumer is smart enough to figure it out for themselves. (OK,OK enough laughing. you can get off the floor and get on with your day now).
