Summary
This article critiques the rise of censorship and "decency" standards in American media and politics, contrasting the freedom of past shows like "NYPD Blue" with current restrictions. It argues that political correctness from the right wing, exemplified by figures like Lynne Cheney and Senator Stevens, attempts to rewrite history and stifle honest portrayals of the American past, such as in the show "Deadwood." The text also highlights specific instances of censorship involving the Oscars, Robin Williams, and cartoons like SpongeBob SquarePants.
