Perhaps this article is mis-titled. What I me...Hmm. Perhaps this article is mis-titled. What I mean is that your title led me to think that you would argue for or against free press, but it wound up giving a sketch of status quo. Your sketch was perfectly fine, however. Perhaps you could have explored in depth the issue of publications being biased because of who owns the publication-this is an issue in India, and would make an interesting topic for a research paper. <br /><br />The whole topic of free speech is a livewire in the debating arena, and I've done many debates on this, both for and against. My most memorable debate on this was at the all-Asian tournament, where my side had to argue hard for the government curbing freedom of speech-something that is not easy to do! The wonderful thing about being the government side in a debate, however, is that as the opening speaker I had the freedom to paint status quo any way I wanted and twist things around. <br /><br />Anyway that's enough rambling.....my point is that this is a very interesting issue, and one that can never be unanimously won by arguments from either side. I suggest that you start reading the Economist magazine if you do want to start arguing in your blog. The Economist has some of the best arguments on issues, and the articles are always well-researched and give a balanced perspective. The Economist is the Bible when it comes to teaching debaters how to argue!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802664377637274339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961044541999766299.post-44250718900501280042010-04-05T20:39:55.329-07:002010-04-05T20:39:55.329-07:00hi there rohini, thanks for leaving a kind comment...hi there rohini, thanks for leaving a kind comment in my blog, i really appreciate that.. i will now follow your blog, hope to see you again in my blog<br />have a great day and happy blogging..<br />btw its nice to be herebluedreamer27https://www.blogger.com/profile/03668789485231473125noreply@blogger.com
