Can we talk?

First Globals™ are the least likely generation to believe the government should censor talk radio, though all generations overwhelmingly reject censhorship when this question is asked. When asked whether the government should or should not be allowed to censor what political opinions are heard on talk radio, 85.5% of First Globals™ answered the government should not be allowed to censor, compared to 82.3% of those 30-49, 83.7% of those 50-64, and 84.0% of those over 65.

Do you think First Globals™ are the most likely generation to reject censorship of any kind, or do you think their high tendency to reject censorship for this question is related to the question’s all-encompassing nature? What do you think the results would be if people were asked whether they approved of the government acting to eliminate hate speech or racist commentary on the radio?

it is all how the question is framed. First globals are so politically correct. they would be fine with the government ending hate speech and racist commentary on the radio.. just don't put the word "censorship" into the q uestion.

exactly. nobody likes censorship. just call it "a measure make internet safer for children" "protect the rights of the vulnerable" etc.
