This is a fairly enlightened view on the matter

She realizes the hypocrisy involved, and is gently chastising a large segment of her own readership. Which is a sign she has a better grasp on the issue than most of the pundits.

Freedom of speech issues conflict with commercial interests and the bottom line is a blend of the two. CBS and MSNBC are dying news agencies. They will do anything out of fear of revenue loss really quick.

Mimicking "black trash" talk to appear hip is a "white trash" bad habit.

Commercial enterprises tend to exploit the lowest common denominator.
