               The Free Market of Ideas is a very important role in our media and press. This enables anyone to have the freedom to argue an opinion and support an opinion without harsh criticism. For example the political debates. These politicians can argue and call each other out in a civilized manner without being stopped or interrupted. Without this system, politicians wouldn't be able toback themselves or defend themselves if someone verbally attacked them. This also involves comments on websites. This allows people the right to post and comment whatever they want both for or against whatever the article is about. Thomas Jefferson quoted that if a mans opinion is wrong but he is willinging for people to dispute him, then he won't be criticized. I do not nessecarily believe that this system 100% works. There are still situations where someone can be talked down upon without being able to defend himself. This is the negative effects of such a system.
