It is extremely insane the amount of censorship that is going on across America. I have seen several radio hosts and t.v. personalities be fired for not being PC.
Some of the issue lies in our schools even at the academic level. I seen it first hand in my own college. I have also heard stories of journalist being told that by the end of their semester they were required to have a social cause to fight for. So when our schools and media are constantly creating victims of first amendment rights, you naturally start seeing a tide of change. It has taken time but now the censorship and "victim-hood" seems to be at its all time peak.
