Thread: Mis iganes juhtus tasuta kõne?

Eri arvamus ei tähenda vale arvamus, eriti kui elektriautod on mures. Ajakirjanikuna sa wouldnt teed oma tööd korralikult, kui mõned inimesed didn ' t saada veidi risti ja ärritunud, mida sa kirjutasid.
Aastate jooksul Olen olnud valitsuse minister, et telefon ütleb mulle maha, ütlen lugejad, milliseid autosid ta sõitis. Olen olnud ka kohtusse kaevata laimu eest, mida ex-saatejuht, kuigi õnneks minu pangakonto saldo ma osutus, mida ma ütlesin oli õiglane kommentaar. Siis on olnud paar omanike klubisid ja erilist huvi rühmad, kes ei ole jagatud mu huumorimeel.
Mida ma märganud, küll, et see on võimalik sattuda hätta lihtsalt võttes erinev arvamus. Arvamus põhineb faktidel, mis erineb valitsevatest norm, võivad põhjustada, Noh, pahameele.
Lõigata pikk lugu pooleks, ma ei saa kirjeldada elektriauto denier. Raadio teisel päeval leidsin ennast andes vastulause, et mees, kes muudab laadimise punkte EVs. Minu mõte oli selles, et aasta pärast paigaldamist, paljud laadimispunktid hadnt kasutatud või kasutati harva. Ta ütles, et on okei, sest seal on subsiidium, panna need üles. Ilmselt ma nägin probleem, et, ja just, kui palju kogu elektriauto lõoke tegelikult seotud kulud.
Tagajärjeks oli see, et paari päeva pärast raadio välimus mul oli muutunud joonis mõned online kuritarvitamine. Õnneks mu haters couldnt kirjuta mu nime, nii et nad olid tegelikult suunates oma venom juures mõned vaesed veidrik nimega Rupert.
Im paksu nahaga idioot, aga tõesti üllatav asi oli see, et raadio show ütles mulle, nad püüdsid leida auto hack valmis minema raadios ja öelda, et nad didn ' t arvan, elektrilised autod olid väga head.
Nüüd ma olen kindel, et kui anti mulle tasuta Nissan Leaf ja power point plonked minu garaaž ma leida uskumatult kasulik kool kestab ja kaubanduskeskused, ja et ma leiaks ta käitus nagu tavaline auto ilma bensiinijaam vahepalad. Mis see on, ma näen elektriautod subsideeritud, lühiajalist häireta ning seda quick-fix, lihtne vastata kergeusklik poliitikud ja ekslik keskkonnaalased surverühmad armastus.
Mis puudutab mind, et öelda, mida sa arvad (põhineb kättesaadavate faktide ja tõendite alusel), erinevate liiklusalaste probleemid on nüüd raske, sest tundub, et konsensuseni, või õige vaade. Nii, kas mul on õigus küsida: mis juhtus tasuta kõne?

A different opinion doesn't mean a wrong opinion, especially where electric cars are concerned. As a journalist you wouldnt be doing your job properly if some people didnt get a little cross and upset with what you wrote.
Over the years Ive had a government minister on the phone telling me off for telling readers what cars he drove. Ive also been sued for defamation by an ex-TV presenter, although luckily for my bank balance I proved what I said was fair comment. Then there have been a few owners' clubs and special interest groups who havent shared my sense of humour.
What I have noticed, though, is that it is possible to get into trouble for simply having a different opinion. An opinion, based on facts, that differs from the prevailing norm, can cause, well, outrage.
To cut a long story in half, I could be described as an electric vehicle denier. On the radio the other day I found myself giving the opposing view to a man who makes the charging points for EVs. My point was that a year after installation, many of the charging points hadnt been used or were rarely used. He said it was okay because there is a subsidy to put them up. Obviously I saw a problem with that, and just how much the whole electric car lark actually costs.
The consequence was that a few days after the radio appearance I had become a figure of some online abuse. Luckily my haters couldnt spell my name so they were actually directing their venom at some poor bloke called Rupert.
Im a thick-skinned idiot, but the really surprising thing was that the radio show told me they struggled to find a car hack prepared to go on the radio and say that they didnt reckon electric cars were very good.
Now I am sure that if I was given a Nissan Leaf for free and a power point plonked in my garage I would find it incredibly useful for the school run and shopping, and that I would find it behaved just like a normal car without the petrol station interludes. As it is, I see electric vehicles as a subsidised, short-term distraction, and one that quick-fix, easy-answer gullible politicians and misguided environmental pressure groups love.
What concerns me is that saying what you think (based on available facts and evidence) on a range of motoring issues is now difficult because there seems to be a concensus, or correct view. So am I right to wonder: whatever happened to free speech?
