Why is that a good move for everyone? It may be a good short-term move for Foxconn, but at some point, someone really ought to be able to keep journalists in check. Free press is a truly wonderful thing, but like all freedoms, it is supposed to come with the responsibility to use it appropriately. Mistakes are one thing, but gross error is quite another.

That's pretty much the way it's been since the dawn of journalism, I'm afraid.
And allows unoriginal morons to be critical of the aforementioned free speech. Way to go #2. You must be a journalism major. Good Luck.
