No. Americans have a right to speak the truth, even if it is an uncomfortable truth. They may even have the right to say that there is a fire in a crowded theater if there is a fire and there are adequate exits. Some judges have ruled that it is not alright to shout fire in a crowded theatre, which may cause unnecessary panic, but as an architect my view is that modern theatres are designed to handle this with adequate size and number of exits. Americans have a right to be critical and to parody things. Although they can lose their job in certain circumstances, they generally cannot be be prosecuted by the government for this. Libel can be difficult and expensive to prove. Especially if one is a public figure.
