What happened to freedom of speech on television?

Look st television shows from the 1970s and earlier.

Shows like All In The Family, The Jefferson's, Good Times

They used words like honky, colored, black, whitey, spick, beaner, wetback and so on. The audience didn't get offended, instead gave these shows awards.

But if they try to put a television show like them on today. They would be attack like a Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

We live in authoritarian times

I've watched a number of Youtube "reaction" videos where today's generation watch TV from the 1970s and are in shock but at the same time fascinated at the freedom of the times. We live in a time where it seems everyone is actively looking for something to be offended by.
