新闻四:福克斯电视台节目'Fox And Friends'播放了一段严厉批评奥巴马经济成果的视频短片引起争议。他们接到了白宫的致电,白宫发言人与fox高层进行了深入友好的会谈,fox删除了这段视频并表示这个视频没有经过主管审核。
然后,奉上美国关于“言论自由”的一个经典解释:
The Right to Free Speech means the government can't arrest you for what you say.
言论自由指的是,政府不能因为你说过的话而逮捕你。
It doesn't mean that anyone else has to listen to your bullshit, or host you while you share it.
这并不代表其他人必须听你说的话,并不代表其他人必须容忍你。
The Right to Free Speech doesn't shield you from criticism or consequences.
言论自由并不保护你免于批评和其他后果。
If you're yelled at, boycotted, fired, banned from an Internet community, beaten up or even get shot by a gun, your free speech rights aren't being violated.
如果你被辱骂,被抵制,被裁员,被论坛封禁账号,甚至被殴打被枪杀,你的言论自由并没有因此被侵犯。
It's just that the people listening think you're an asshole.
这只是因为人们认为你是一个混蛋。
