Nazis don't have a right to make other people say what they want. The fact that American TV networks weren't allowed to say "shithole" in reporting what the US President said is an example of censorship. The FCC, a government agency, requires that they not use certain words. When Fox decided to get rid of O'Reilly that's not censorship that's just basic ability to read how the wind is blowing.
