Watch TV news? These media -- and > mod.singles -- are SELECTIVE, not "censored." I hate to tell you this, but television, radio, newspapers-- censorship is a good word for our free press. I grew up in a family that owned a newspaper, in my illustrious student days I was a radio/TV major before I discovered these idiotic machines, and I've been involved in many areas of the media. Anyone who thinks that the media's feelings are limited to the editorial pages are fooling themselves. I think that the moderated groups will be a lot LESS censored than most media in the 'free' press. [note: I may not like the existing system, but it is a helluva lot better than most of the alternatives. People who gripe about the U.S. don't know a lot about places like russia] -- From the Department of Bistromatics: Chuq Von Rospach {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA (Editors note: Bistromatics is NOT a typo.
