"..a qualified right to freedom of speech."

Media bend in the prevailing wind - smh.com.au

This new political correctness needs to be applied across the board, writes Gerard Henderson.
The problem with some editors and producers is that they now assert a qualified right to freedom of speech. This entails that it is proper to upset some religious followers (Christians and Jews) but improper to upset other believers (Muslims). If genuine respect is to prevail, it must be universal.
Gerard Henderson is executive director of the Sydney Institute.
