Censorship

This is a CD that has the parental advisory warning label on it for explicit language. This shows that even though the first amendment says freedom of speech we still have to watch what we say. If you were listening to some of these songs on the radio if would censor out the explicit language. Most of the time though everyone knows the word that is being censored. There isn't a difference between hearing the word outright and knowing what word was actually said.
The Iraq War and 9/11 have increased what we are allowed to hear and see in the media. We no longer see dead soldiers being brought off planes with the flag draped over it. Newscasters and political pundits have to watch more closely what they say. If they attack a certain point of view they can be brand as unpatriotic or not supporting the troops.
