If you mean it's unfair that non-celebrities aren't given the same access to air their personal views, I'd say they're able to find an audience now more than ever with the ease of social media and YouTube channels.



I see it as the beauty of living in a free society.
Well said.

Hard to believe that there are those that wish they could silence certain people...while only allowing others voices to be heard.

Then again...no it's not.

As for 'celebrities' not being allowed to voice their opinions, imagine how our current country would be so much different right now...if that were actually the case.

On second thought...maybe it IS a good idea after all.
