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]
