"Free speech for me but not for thee."This is a doozy:
Should there be a gatekeeper regulating internet bloggers? In the aftermath of the Shirley Sherrod incident, thats what CNN promoted on July 23.
Anchors Kyra Phillips and John Roberts discussed the mixed blessing of the internet, and agreed that there should be a crackdown on anonymous bloggers who disparage others on the internet.
Theres going to have be a point in time where these people have to be held accountable, Phillips said. How about all these bloggers that blog anonymously? They say rotten things about people and theyre actually given credibility, which is crazy. Theyre a bunch of cowards, theyre just people seeking attention.
Phillips demanded to know what Andrew Keen thought needed to be done. Keen, author of The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet is Killing Our Culture, who suggested that there needs to be an internet gatekeeper, had been interviewed by Roberts and quoted in the segment.
Phillips wanted to go even further, asking if theres going to come a point where somethings going to have to be done legally about anonymous bloggers.
Kyra Phillips Asks if Something Needs to be Done 'Legally' about 'Anonymous Bloggers'
I wonder if CNN feels the Journo-list bloggers and those at the Huff Post should be silenced as well.
This is how seriously leftists take the Constitution.
