No, . . . rather it looks like 57 percent of Republicans and a similar percentage of Democrats kinda get it. That’s not “virtually nobody,” man.
Interesting interviews with both Heather McDonald and Lee Cheng. I would say both sides are missing in the free speech debate. I would, however, like to see exactly how the question was worded in the poll about ‘bad behavior.” Does that mean publishing military, intelligence secrets that causes harm on the battlefield or ‘fake news’ or what? I could see that making a difference in how people answered. I am almost always in favor of free speech and free press but would probably draw the line somewhere when it comes to military/state secrets. However, with the internet, it just seems to me more and more unlikely that anything can be kept too secret – except if the Chinese government is asking Facebook or Google to do its bidding.
