^^And the idea that US media is censored is absurd.^^
Are you kidding? The news is all over the place and even in our own news, that we openly censor news.

The government or a controlling body can not censor news. Decisions made as to what hits the front page, etc., that are routinely made by editorial staff are usually not censorship, though they can be. There have been times where the gov asked for reporting to be delayed and the press cooperated. During WW2 articles, etc., were routinely subject to censorship.

Every person on this board would be interested in any real, true, verifiable censorship that occurred. Most of thee complaints are that some subject dear to the complainer isn't on the front page, or widely talked about or commented on.

RT should be censored. It is a government propaganda machine. At first I watched it and enjoyed the interesting videos of areas of the world not normally videoed. Then the propaganda became apparent. And the formula is to mix real news and commentary with propaganda to give it that veneer of reality. So I censored it. :) I stopped watching.
