Should celebrities be held to a higher standard of behavior?

"The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power"

Many celebrities these days are engaging in hate speech. They are exercising their First Amendment rights of free speech to such an extent that it may incite violence among their admirers. We've seen it during the recent presidential campaign when Hillary supporters attacked Trump supporters while cheered on by celebrities. Since the election it's become worse. The level of hyperbole and invective has risen and violent acts are on the rise. Charlie Sheen tweets for Trump to be dead. He is compared to Hitler and his wife to Eva Braun while innocent men are assaulted, one even imprisoned and tortured. Yes, the perpetrators are prosecuted, but how about those inciting the activity?

Once upon a time, in days of yore, people of privilege were expected to be responsible leaders. It was referred to as "Noblesse Obige"

Noblesse oblige is a French phrase literally meaning "nobility obligates". It denotes the concept that nobility extends beyond mere entitlements and requires the person who holds such status to fulfill social responsibilities, particularly in leadership roles.

I can't imagine anyone today being more privileged than celebrities. They are given great wealth and their adoring fans hang on their every word (which are broadcast in movies, television, radio, and more). People emulate their dress, their style, their thoughts, and their actions.

I would liken their responsibility to a fiduciary relationship. This is a legal principle in which people holding the money and property of others (such as in the relationship of a trustee and a beneficiary or a banker and a depositor) are held to a higher standard of behavior.

When we point cameras and microphones in the direction of celebrities, shouldn't they be held to a higher standard. Of course, one may argue that if they betray that trust, we should simply turn away. Sadly, however, many of them are like train wrecks and you can't look away. And our children are exposed to their words and behavior when we aren't supervising them (the children - sadly we can't supervise the celebrities)
