Reader’s letter on First Amendment ignores conservative double standard

I debated whether to respond to a recent letter to the editor complaining about the canceling of Scott Adams’ “Dilbert” comic. After years of reading complaints from readers about The Herald’s liberal slant, which ignored the fact that conservative columnists such as Debra Saunders, Kathleen Parker, and Megan McArdle, are regularly included, his letter seemed like more conservative snowflakery. It’s clear the reader misunderstands the First Amendment, as the Herald’s opinion editor appropriately pointed out. Nobody is stopping Adams from saying what he wants. But none of us are required by the Constitution to pay him to say it, and you can still find his comic strip and hear his political views online.
