[Avodah] Lashon Hara about Eretz Yisrael

[Goldmeier]

is this issur against speaking LH about Eretz Yisrael specifically EY or 
any inanimate object? What is the source of the issur (the meraglim or 
other?)? As far as I can remember, there is no mention of this in hichos 
lashon hara from the Chafetz Chaim - if it is really an issur of LH, why 
not?
