‘It’s one thing to put your own life at risk, you’re putting other people’s lives at risk’

Zakaria: Newspapers Will Have To Decide If They "Believe In Freedom of Speech" Or Putting Lives At Risk (RealClearPolitics)

FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN: You know, unfortunately, it would be nice to say it's not going to work. It shouldn't work. But the reality is that it will have a chilling effect. It already has had a chilling effect. And these are difficult decisions that news organizations now have to make, that magazines will have to make because, yes, of course you believe in freedom of speech. But do you also want to put lives at risk, particularly, it's one thing to put your own life at risk, you're putting other people's lives at risk. So it is unfortunately going to have a chilling effect. I think there's no way around it.
