In general, nothing should be censored by the government. Markets and social values will determine what is and isn't appropriate speech. The few exceptions which must exist are where one's words cause or incite harm to another; i.e. shouting "Fire" in a crowded theater.

Newspapers, radio and television censor themselves all the time based upon their advertisers.  Look at some of the shows back in the day like "All in the Family." We will never see a show like this anymore because it would be deemed too offensive, I believe, to make the cut.
