BGD 6,436 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 What's free speech got to do with it? Sky is a private company and it's up to them who they want to represent their brand. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because once people seed they can lose their jobs just by voicing an opinion they will start to toe the line....partly explains why our media never seems to question anything anymore. I much prefer argument and debate to censorship Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I much prefer argument and debate to censorship Funny it wasn't long ago you were cheering on someone being fired for a tweet For calling for an assassination, and rather I was laughing at the insane reaction of the left to Trump winning the election....It was the modern so called progressive liberals who've brought all of this censorship on us and it's pretty funny when they become a victim of it. But I wouldn't have fired her, her stupid views do wonders in the battle against the progressives. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I much prefer argument and debate to censorship A free Press means not regulating and restricting their actions. It does not mean regulating them from managing their staff how they see fit. I would consider that the complete opposite of freedom. Having a free Press and freedom of speech does not stop lies and deceit, it simply maintains the diversity (through freedom) of the voices and therefore lets the masses decide. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I haven't got anything against Bristow. Seems an alright bloke, but when will these people learn to do their job instead of using the platform of being in the public eye to voice their personal opinions? Can't say I disagree with what he said, but that's pub talk not tv talk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We live in a world where a simple comment can lose jobs and wreck lives. Look at Nobel laureate Tim Hunt's self deprecating joke that led to him being removed from his post...never mind that the work he did helped cure cancer. Bristow isn't a journalist he's a regular bloke....regular blokes say daft things all the time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
