to celebrate or not to celebrate the columbus' day

It is true that Columbus is viewed as a national hero for his discovery of the new world in which now tens of million people live on. However, a day in name of columbus is not necessarily needed because America is a diverse and multi-cultural country which includes people from differnet ethnics who might hold different point of views in the same issue. It is not fair for those people who dislike Columbus' acts to celebrate him as a figure of bravery and spirit of american culture. American people definitely need a day to celebrate the courage of exploring but it is no need to set it in name of Columbus.

When truth survives free speech

Is this an example of the free market of ideas? why or why not?

It is not a typical tpye of the free market of ideas because the court still involved in the case. A free market of ideas should be carry on without the outside regulations and interference.

Does/would FMI work here? Why or why not?
The FMI certainly did not work here because the businessman was defamed, and the general public starts to believe in the inaccurate informations. So the truth did not come to light.

Can you see evidence of free press in your news journals?
No, because it is not the kind of information that is supposed to be censored.
How might the story and/or language have been different if its writer's free speech was not protected.
If it is not protected, then people would not say something that is against the goverment. Some truth will be censored.
Whose voice/story wouldn't be heard? who would benefit?
the voice form the witness and the general government.
