I don't see how we can be for freedom of speech and also want to censure speech that we do not agree with. In the case of this fictional series, some want to censure it before it is even broadcast.
Do we really want our polititians to threaten the license of broadcasters who air things critical of the government? Republicans and Democrats will rarely agree on which shows should be censured. It is scary to imagine our polititians requiring a seal of approval before TV shows are shown to the public.
