Censorship
..How about telling us just exactly what rights you have lost. With Bush or any other president that you choose....

Don't know if you are a USAer but here's the deal.
There was a documentary shown recently that follwed a battalion in Iraq.
PBS had two versions, one with the verbatim language used by the soldiers as they were shot at and died.
The second version was sanitized.
The broadcasters didn't know if the new FCC rules would allow them show the real version.
Most did.
Saving Private Ryan was also in hot water over the language used.
Some local affiliates didn't broadcast it for fear of been fined.
A number of 'jounalists' have been exposed recieeing money from the administration and writing favorable reports on the education program amoung other subjects.
News briefs by Bush are stuffed with supportive journalists asking very pro administration wuestions.
Government propaganda is illegal in this country.
The right to trial has been suspended for terrorist suspects (enemy combatants) and Gitmo bay is been used as a concentration camp to avoid the legal system.

That's some for now.
