If you want to get comedians … allow them freedom of speech. They haven’t got any … That’s why I think there’s no more comedy.

—Groucho Marx, April 1962

We have created a marketplace out there in which it is no longer a marketplace of ideas—it is a marketplace of opinions. It is a marketplace of lying and calumny. It is a marketplace in which, tragically, the most outrageous views get the greatest attention.
