執行緒： 什麼事情言論自由？

不同的觀點並不意味著一個錯誤的觀點，尤其是在電動汽車方面。作為一名記者，你不會做你的工作正確如果有些人並沒有得到一個小十字架，用你寫的東西很不高興。
這些年來香港專業教育學院有一位政府部長在電話裡告訴我告訴讀者他開什麼車。香港專業教育學院也被起訴誹謗前電視節目主持人，但幸運的是我的銀行我證明了我所說的平衡是公正的評論。然後有幾個業主俱樂部和特殊利益集團沒分享我有幽默感。
我已經注意到，雖然，是有可能出麻煩的只有不同的意見。認為，基於事實，不同于現行的做法，會導致、 井、 憤怒。
要把一個長的故事切成兩半，我可以描述成電動車旦。收音機裡幾天前我發現自己把反對意見獻給某個男人使電動汽車充電站。我的觀點是很多收費點安裝完畢後，一年沒有用過了或者很少使用。他說: 這是好的因為那裡是補貼要把它們放。顯然，和多少全電動汽車雲雀其實只是成本的問題了
後果是濫用的，幾天後的無線電外觀已成為一些線上圖。幸運的是我的仇敵不能拼我的名字，所以他們實際上針對一些可憐的傢伙，叫魯珀特它們的毒液。
我臉皮厚的白癡，但令人驚訝的事情是廣播節目告訴我他們在努力尋找汽車駭客準備去收音機和說，他們沒有估計到電動汽車都很好。
現在我確信如果我免費得到日產 Leaf 和電源點過時在我的車庫裡我會覺得非常有用的學校運行和購物，並要找到它的表現就像正常的汽車沒有汽油站穿插。如是，看電動汽車作為一種資助、 短期的干擾和快速修復、 簡單答案輕信政治家和誤導環保壓力團體愛的那個。
我關注的是說出你的想法 (基於可用事實和證據) 在一系列駕車問題是現在很難因為似乎有一個共識或正確的視圖。我也是這樣權想知道: 什麼叫言論自由嗎?

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?
