The First Amendment, of the Constitution is supposed to allow anyone to voice their opinions without censorship and punishment. Today, in the media this right seems to have restrictions whether it is the media that is being watched on what it shows, says, or writes. The other side is the components of the media such as radio, television, and newspaper showing others saying what they feel but then get a lot of criticism for what they say. Although, they do not come right out and say that they should not say some things the censorship is silent but the world knows when "freedom" of speech gets some restrictions to it.
Today's example:
Remember, when Howard Stern was a radio personality/ talk show host on major radio station but because he used profanity and said some lude things. The owners of the radio station did not want his show to reflect the integrity of the radio station and others affiliuated with it. Howard Stern decided not to change his personality. he currently hosts a radio show on Sirius satelitttle radio. This is just a basic, right out example of the quiet censorship and/or punishment of freedom of speech.
