When Dr Laura used an offensive term on her show, how were her 1st amendment rights abrogated?

If you say dumb things on the air then the ppl who Pay you have the Right to pull out of supporting you. She had the right to say it. She wasn't Jailed or Fined.

But when you are on Public Radio for anyone to hear then you can't just say anything! You work for someone come on Dr Laura!

She has the right to say it. It's perfectly protected. The station's right to fire her for it and audiences' right to abandon her for it are also protected.

The consequences are simply natural law. If you offend people, they will quit listening. If you fail to produce ratings, the network has the right to fire you.

The First Amendment guarantees nothing more than your right to say something. It does not carry a legal obligation to give you a venue. For example, when MSNBC kicked Don Imus off the air for his "Nappy Headed Hoes" comment, they did nothing wrong.

They refused him a venue. Congress didn't ban him. He just simply had to go elsewhere to say what he wanted, but still had that right to say what he wanted.

The fact that people don't listen to him anymore is a natural consequence of his speech.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
