View submission: Reddit Community Values
Is media attention an indication it is right?
Media is pretty diverse and on a low news day they can pick a fight over anything and creating controversy is one of the ways media makes money. So, whilst media should not be ignored its possible for them to be wrong, it can unreasonably attack free speech or have views that come from very political directions and exaggerate.
I'm of the view that protecting communities is not only not contradictory to free speech but for the most part the two are needed together. And not all communities are 'good' to all other communities, as soon as they enter anything in the realm of human politics they will not be good to all others, so Reddit not only will gain some media negative attention but sometimes has to resist it.
Its a tough situation to be in.
There's nothing here!
