Political Correctness

[Julio3000]

I think that dueling ideological boycotts underscore the degree to which our media discourse is beholden to corporate interests, and are disheartening for that reason, but are not inherently bad.

I really need you to elaborate on how the First Amendment is in play here. It's not, as you say, clear as day to me.

It's a backdoor to bypasss. People won't freely express themselves if they believe their means of livilihood is at stake. Then the acceptable brand of discourse narrows and anything out of that narrow focus becomes more easily ostracized and causes outrage which will 'require' action from then government to quell uprising of people demanding justice.
