Althouse: This NYT headline displays an unabashed belief 

that censorship is desirable and expected, 

as if the tradition of freedom of speech has evaporated.  

With dismay, I am reading "On Podcasts and Radio, Misleading Covid-19 Talk Goes Unchecked/False statements about vaccines have spread on the 'Wild West' of media, even as some hosts die of virus complications."

Talk goes unchecked! 

Freedom of speech is an artifact of the "Wild West," not the foundation of our republic!
