What is Next??

After reading Jeff Jarvis's blog regarding the FCC regulations on blogs, I am thoroughly annoyed.

What is next? Regulation of what is said in everyday conversation?

The blog is context-rich in information, supplying the reader with background information, a PDF link to the regulations and of course the wonders of the biased opinion of Jeff Jarvis!

Despite the fact that the First Amendment protects our rights to the freedom of speech, I feel that this "right" is consistently infringed upon by the government with ridiculous regulations, codes and "politically correct" statements. I agree that newspapers should report fairly and in an objective manner, BUT firmly disagree of the same model for blogs. I was under the assumption that blogs were created for the main stance of stating, supplying and providing one's opinion, no matter what the stance was. Guess I was wrong....
