If your case is that you don't tolerate hate speech, why complicate it by making an argument against free speech?

Here's the real beef of the issue:

Do people have a right to information? Is it worth fighting for something called the Right to Truth?
If so, would that mean that people who are blatantly spreading slander and misinformation are taking the right to truth/right of information from people. Must they be reprimanded in the same way any other person taking away someone's rights faces court? Could that be called censorship?

I would argue "no." for instance, what foxnews does should be illegal. They DID manage to gain the legal right to lie by appealing to freedom of the press, which is inappropriate no matter how you slice it.
