...by who? NBC, Mexico, Univision, MSNBC, the NYT. Seems that presidential candidate Donald Trump has angered some people by saying some truisms about Mexico and their government. The afore mentioned people have twisted what Trump said to be about Mexicans in general. If you listen to Trump's statement it was government actions and business interests in Mexico. Censorship! Who said that? We all know that censorship is about the government stifling free speech. Then again, this is the Mexican government doing things to hurt an American citizen. I know the Donald is a big boy and can take it but they have imprisoned marines for traffic violations, fired at border patrol agents and helicopters, and have stonewalled the White House. I would expect the White House put a bug in the ear of the Mexican ambassador about how American feel about government impeding free speech.

NBC, Univision, MSNBC, and the NYT all have the right to criticize Trump and not do business with him.
And how exactly does "Mexico" punish Trump? Do you mean the Mexican government? If so, how exactly did the Mexican government punish him? A fine? Imprisonment?
