technically his show isn't an open forum. he, like every radio host, screens calls ends calls when he doesn't like the direction it's taking and generally the whole format and tone of the show is controlled by one man.
But I'll humor your position for a moment: What if the boards got a bigger reader base...Say a million posters/viewers. Do you think we should censor ourselves in the event of such a huge migration?
do you mean "censor" as in rules regarding speech? no. do you mean it in the way that we all censor ourselves from doing tacky jokes at the expense of little girls who just lost their fathers? yeah, i think that would be the decent thing to do.
again, this is not about whether he had the right to say it. it's about him being an utter tool for being such an asshole.
these boards have a very very small audience, his show has a large audience. no one is talking about censoring him,
Give it time.
we're saying he's an asshole for what he said. just because you have the freedom to be an asshole, doesn't mean it's moral to be one.
Morals? What qualifies as "moral" exactly? Censoring one's feelings?
i find it odd that he felt giddy about someone's death because he didn't like a movie the guy did. i find it odd that he had such disregard for the way the family might feel that he made tasteless jokes on the air. i find it odd that there are even people defending him. this isn't about free speech or about passing censorship laws. it's about john gibson being an asshole.
