Not when it's false, inflammatory and violent propaganda masquerading as "entertainment. " Joel Send a noteboard - 07/04/2010 11:10:41 AM
I don't think refusing to air false and inflammatory material counts as censorship.


I think censoring it does though;)

Refusing to air it because of content=censorship. Come to think, WOULD the BBC air something that violent, even if it didn't paint the Israeli army as rapists and Palestinians as people who murder their own children?
