Wrong. The only entities who can actively control what others are allowed to read and see on TV are the publishers and TV stations themselves. > You were trying to change what the American > people were allowed to see, to make it more > what YOU wanted them to see. Wrong. I was advocating that ABC choose to make changes to what it had planned to broadcast. (Judy's first > "suggestion," which she backed off from when > we pointed out that it was censorship PER SE, > was that the film be yanked off the air until > after the elections and then shown ONLY on pay > TV.) Wrong. I did not "back off" anything, nor did I suggest an alternative to pulling the broadcast because anybody claimed advocating the broadcast be changed was "censorship." That is not what censorship is, in the first place. In the second place, I made a different suggestion because it occurred to me that a rebuttal following the broadcast would be a more effective way of exposing the falsehoods in the film. > That not only makes you a censor, it makes you > EXACTLY like the Bushies you rail against on this > forum. You're a censor. Live with it, hypocrite. Wrong. Check with a lawyer. If the Bushies were to order ABC to pull the film or make changes in it, *that* would be censorship. It is not censorship for members of the public to advocate that ABC make the choice to do so. In fact, it's people like you, who toss around the term "censorship" without regard for what it actually means, who use it as a weapon against people exercising their right to speak because you disagree with what they have to say, who endanger free speech. You are the hypocrite, and the person who has something unpleasant to live with.
