Jacobsen quote from 1974:

Man tror Gud hjælpe mig, at ytringsfriheden betyder ytringsfrihed for Danmarks Radios medarbejdere. Det er en misforståelse. Den ytringsfrihed fastsættes her i radiorådet

But God help me, if freedom of expression means freedom of expression for Danish Radio employees. That’s a misunderstanding. Freedom  of expression is secured here on the broadcasting board.

Jacobsen was a former socialist who thought Danish radio was subject to Communist influence. In particular, he thought that children’ s programming was trying to breed a generation of Reds.

I don’t normally agree with these people. I tend to agree with the quote though.

It reminds me of Oliver Wendell Holme’s quip in McAuliffe v. New Bedford (1892):

“The petitioner may have a constitutional right to talk politics, … but he has no constitutional right to be a policeman”
