I do not get that. Does that mean that the media can go anywhere they please?

Either way, I think it is obscene as well, but I do have to agree that they have the right to speak their minds about it.
I am trying to get my head around this. They have a right to speak their minds, yes, but anywhere? And anyhow?

A funeral is a private occasion, not a public one. And disturbing a funeral is blasfemy.

Does this mean that freedom of speech means you can go into the church as well, for instance? And disrupt the service with shouts and banners an so on?

Can you then go into for example a hospital and start shouting at gay patients?

Can you storm a club? Can you lay siege to a private home?
Turn up at the diner where people eat their lunch, or at their job?

Does 'freedom of speech' mean freedom to pester and persecute other people any way they like?????

Isn't this way of doing it making a disturbance or a public nuisance or whatever?
Isn't it, frankly, an attack?
