I note that Sony has changed it’s mind and released The Interview, albeit in a limited way. Good news for free speech and so on, but here’s a thought: what if the shoe was on the other foot? What if North Korea, or some other authoritarian state, produced a film depicting the killing of the president of America and making the CIA and FBI out to be a bunch of bungling fools? Wouldn’t america try to have it banned immediately? Wouldn’t they brand it ‘hate speech’ or ‘propaganda’? Of course they would! They’d pounce on it and make sure it never saw the light of day. Free speech, it seems, only applies if america or it’s allies are speaking.

On that note, merry christmas everyone.
