Blog censorship wins support. (So does illegal drugs, by the way)
What would this make me, a journalist?
HAHAHA.
However, more than one-third of respondents had never heard of blogs before participating in the survey, and only around 30 percent of participants had actually visited a blog themselves.
While Americans were concerned about free speech, the survey revealed more moderate attitudes when it compared bloggers to journalists.
Fifty-two percent of those surveyed said bloggers should have the same rights as traditional journalists, while 27 percent did not express an opinion. Free speech rights are protected under the first amendment of the US Bill of Rights, which says the US Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. Such rights are not enshrined in the Australian Constitution.
