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 won't laugh at a racist going at it thinking they're hilarious for talking down a group of people. Plus it's such cheap jokes that's been said a million times.

I think this censorship has inspired to jokes. About censorship and many other things that is hot topics in this era.

For example now it's not just men making fun of their wives, it's women making fun of husbands or exes too , it's single people sharing how awesome their single life is without a single shameful bone in their body. Especially single and lesbian women. Lgbtq and feminism is shaping the comedy today and it gives new fresh material.

Different times but still great comedy.
