Sunlight Is The Best Disinfectant

I enjoyed this article regarding the implications of free speech, particularly as it alluded to the quote, “sunlight is the best disinfectant,” implying promoting a progressive mindset that encourages [outspokenness through free speech], whereby if the inclusion of all human and institutional opinions are made conventional it would more likely expose falsehoods — in that they’d be rooted out. As a result, less corruption would exist due to pervasive transparencies around various activities, including financial and government interests. It brings to bear a brilliant quote around censuring the news, in that “if the news industry has the freedom-of-the-press to encroach upon our lives, then we should have the freedom-of-speech to critique and censure what it does.”
