When A Free Press Opposes Free Speech
Mike Adams

The Charlotte Observer recently ran an editorial, which seeks to intentionally misinform the public about HB527 – a bill to restore free speech on campuses in the UNC system. Let me be as clear as I possibly can: The editors who wrote this piece are not confused about what HB527 says. They are intentionally misrepresenting what it says because they oppose free speech. That’s a bold statement, which I intend to back by reprinting the worst parts of their editorial followed by my own observations:

The article is bloody terrible. What sort of Op Ed writer uses the phrase "No more needs be said?" It's his JOB to say!

Fortunately, the comments section came to the rescue, with some seriously well thought out points.

Skip the article. Read the comments.

Actually I think the author says plenty!  And the comments are good as well!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien
