Very true, freedom of speech (and freedom of the press, which is again slightly different) is supposed to be about being able to speak out against the government or against authority in general without fear of persecution.
Somehow it's been taken and twisted into this form where it means that d-list celebrities are allowed to incite racial hatred and engage in vicious stereotyping without any sort of consequence. An utter mess, really.
