I would like to take a look at how free expression manifests itself in today's journalism. If you publish a magazine these days you don't have to worry about anybody telling you what you can and cannot put on the cover. No subject is forbidden. The taboos are gone. I guess that's why when I walk past a magazine stand I am struck by how mind-bogglingly similar and boring magazine covers are these days.
Every magazine looks the same on a newsstand.
Every one is on the same subject. Sex, of course. We used to have an artificial super-diversity of subjects that magazines could be about because the forces of the status quo were stopping magazines from writing about what we all knew was everybody's favorite subject, sex. You had to go to books to read about sex. And there used to be separate whole bookstores for this type of THE MT VOID Page 2 book.
