In one way or another, whether it's radio, TV, newspapers, or internet, it seems there are always limits on speech. Off-hand I can only think of a few instances where you have relative freedom of speech: 1) In a one-on-one face-to-face conversation 2) writing and publishing a book.. Even then I think you have to worry about what you say: Don't slander, don't threaten anyone etc..
