Noted Journal for Intellectual Debate, GQ Claims Those Who Fight For Free Speech Are "Grifters"

Obviously there is no free speech crisis on college campuses: there are thousands of ideas one can express for every one that is forbidden.

If you think there is a crisis, then you are a mark, conned by "grifters". Be ashamed. Be very ashamed. https://t.co/ccxvvblygd

In one of the more awkward exchanges on television in recent memory, the stand-up comedian Bill Burr sat down with Bill Maher on HBO's Real Time. 

"I think we have something in common," said Maher. "We think political correctness may be ruining comedy." To Maher's surprise, a visibly irked Burr disagreed. 

"It's a really weird time where people are bringing [PC outrage] up all the time like it's a major problem," said Burr. "Like usual, they're acting like the sky is falling. It isn't. It's a fun time." A flustered Maher turned ashen.

He is among a growing class of pundits—call them the Free Speech Grifters—who flog PC culture as a singularly eminent threat to the freedom of expression in America. And Burr, a decidedly un-PC comic, punctured the narrative.

Grifters? Narrative?
