"The portion of the song shouted out in the video included three uses of the n-word and a crude term for the female anatomy". I find it interesting and odd that the cheerleaders are roundly criticized for singing along with the song, but there seems to be no criticism directed at the person who wrote the song, and the person who performed the song (may be the same person, I didn't research it). Nor of the apparently large number of rap fans that must like this song a lot to put it in the "popular" category.

Please cite the clause in the first amendment that would apply to decisions a news organization makes. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Re: “Riverway plans head toward the start line”
The first amendment has nothing to do with what City decides to remove or leave in. Up until you brought that up, I agreed with your point.
Re: “Perspectives: Jean Carroll”
Having around 5% of the investments be in a hedge fund sounds like reasonable diversification to me, not something to be criticized.
Re: “Frederick Douglass statue damaged; police arrest two”
I would agree with the statement "it is never acceptable for a white person to use the N word. Nothing else needs to be said" if it were slightly changed to "it is never acceptable for ANY person to use the N word. Nothing else needs to be said".
