Posted on January 29th, 2010 by admin

i would give an example when princess diana died because of car accident the reason of the accident is because of the reporters or her paparazzi.. so do you think that sometimes freedom of press is dangerous or have bad effects…

Sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its Faults, if they are such; because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no Form of Government but what may be a Blessing to the People if well administered; and I believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a Course of Years, and can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other.

    No. That was one stupid persons mistake. To take away freedom of the press so no one knows what is actually going on is sucide. That is called a dictatorship and no one except the dictator likes it.

    You left out the part about her driver being intoxicated and taunting the paparazzi. No, freedom of the press is a good thing, but people have to use common sense as well.

    I think the freedom of the press should end when they are violating the freedom of the public.

    Freedom of the press has produced more benefical outcomes than harmful ones. In the cases where a few dumba$$ photographers or reporters cause trouble, the press publishes that sort of sensationalizism because the public wants to hear about it. Blood, sex, and drugs sell better as entertainment than news, even when the "serious" news tells the story.

    The paparazzi wouldn’t exist if all the morons in the world would stop reading the tabloids, and started purchasing informative news.
