Oh good gravy. Free speech deals with the GOVERNMENT saying you can't say something. As free Americans...people have a right to say "Hey NBC...don't show it or else." It's not censorship unless the government does it. If you say people can't protest against NBC...then you are denying THEIR freedom of speech.
Anyone has the right to tell anyone they don't want to see something on TV...except the government. That's the constitution. If you can find it in the constitution that I don't have a right to tell NBC "Don't show this or that..."and that THAT is called censorship or limiting freedom of speech...well...I'll be waiting.
So what you are saying is if we disagree with someone...we shouldn't say anything...then we lose our free speech.
good for you. thankx

No, *censorhip* deals with the government saying you can't do something.
Free speech, on the other hand, is the principle best summarized by the paraphrase of Voltaire's position, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." That's not in the same spirit as "I'll do what I can to keep it from airing".
