As far as I know, The WWE is starting to take away people's boos from the crowd and also Anti-Cena signs away. They've been doing this all the time lately on WWE Monday Night RAW whenever The WWE Champion John Cena comes out. They say the crowd boos him but when I hear him on TV, I think they are censoring the fans and pumping in fake cheers. The point here is that The WWE is deliberalty censoring the crowd and trying to take away their freedom of expression on how the audience really reacts to him.
What do you think about this? Your opinion?
I know this "Pro Wrestling" and belongs in the "Wrestling Section", but I really wanna get another opinion about The WWE trying to censorn the fans' freedom of expression.

Well, first we must look at what the censors did. Did they stop the people from booing? No. They did not interfere with the crowd's freedom of speech.
Did they decide that they would not broadcast the booing? Yes, it is WWE's freedom of speech to decide what they want to broadcast.
The WWE owes the crowd no obligation to help the crowd with their freedom of speech.
Now, the important lesson here is that the WWE manipulates what the audience sees and hears. Wrestlers are actors and the WWE provides the forum for your entertainment. It is YOUR fault if you were to believe that stuff is real.

Freedom of speech does not mean WWE must broadcast through Comcast Cable services into the livingroom 's of all the WWE subscribers.
Everyone is free to boo as they wish to all within earshot

Freedom of speech and censorship only apply to the government. WWE is a private organization, and they can broadcast it however they want. They are not getting the government's assistance to put this on, so it is perfectly legal.

It's only a freedom of speech concern if the govt is doing it.
What this is counts as editorial censorship. Not illegal or unconstitutional, but an indication of bias by the producer.

Last I looked, the WWE is not the government but a private enterprise. As such, they can allow or not allow any speech that they chose. You don't have to watch you know.

This can be considered dishonest or misrepresentative, but it breaks no laws. Definitely write WWE and complain. They're a business, and feedback might help them change their ways.
