The Books are not Being "BANNED", you are still allowed to buy them and read them. They just don't want to fund them in the Library because they could be some controversy. It's censorship. Period. And you and I get to make a judgement based on that. You may think it's ok. I say it's very scary. You know, I hear Liberals wanting to "FIX TALK RADIO", that is a form of Censorship. They don't like what they hear on there and they think it needs to be fixed. Liberals Hate Rush and Sean Hannity and they would love for them to be off the Air. But it is funny how they don't want to fix CNN, a channel that should be called ONN, Aka Obama News Network. There are tons of censorship out there, just the way you look at it... First, you're generalizing about what 'liberals' want. Second, I don't want, and I don't believe any right thinking american wants to force anyone off the air. The talk of Russ and Sean is protected by the constitution and I would fight for their right to be on the air. When I hear "FIX TALK RADIO", I take that as someone noting the number of right leaning shows vs left leaning shows. And that 's just a fact. If someone wants to try and balance that out, then more power to them. Censorship is scary. Period. |

Well the Liberals have TV and Hollywood on their sides, if they want to balance it out, then they are going to have to Deal with Hollywood and TV shows like Oprah. There are far more Left wing liberal shows out there and right wing conservative ones... |

Irrelevant I suppose. ************ You know, I hear Liberals wanting to "FIX TALK RADIO", that is a form of Censorship. They don't like what they hear on there and they think it needs to be fixed.

There are tons of censorship out there, just the way you look at it... ******** Another misconception about who is what. CNN is one of the most agenda based online news sources I have researched. I have spent more time on CNN then on any other news source combined. If you know how to navigate through their system and dig into all the areas of CNN and their affiliations they have Mass Amounts of valuable input on many various areas. BUT if you are new or unfamiliar how politics work and how the media plays a part fueling issues it can work against you. If you are not open minded and are searching for a co-signer on a debate you are having- or there with narrow cause, you will likely click off the site bitter on the few articles you looked at that seemed bias. OR come off CNN with raging proof and promote CNN to all end. It would be nice if people got on there and got their 'proof' so they would be pumped on CNN so they would spend immense amounts of time to figure out what CNN is about. They are agenda driven. I used them for a essay I wrote. 40% of the information I gathered came from CNN's site or the sites affiliates. I got a A on that Essay, (lobbyist -professor) AGAIN, CNN is very agenda driven. After I got that A and had spent so much time on CNN for research on that essay and began to think of everything I was able to access off that site. I researched all the laws regarding to Presidential campaigning, History of elections.. the different areas to include a factual base, Voters issues, world issues, etc.. CNN became a place where I could go read up on current news. When I say current I mean current. I had it down pat. Around 4 or 5am pst. was when the articles started being distributed online. Let me tell you how agenda driven CNN is. They would start posting these News articles like every 15 mins on average. They would open up Comments for some.. on the bottom of the article it would say Comment on this.. ok--now the trick is you have to be there right when they put that article online because they only leave comments open for 1-2 hours.. Some they don't open comments on. Now they have moderators for the comments. Your comment has to be approved. :/ wtheck is that? I sometimes would be the first poster and would check back after posting on another article and I would see my post still saying waiting for moderation after 45 mins. and while there are 75 posts already up in the forum approved. That is why you have to be there when they are first posted if you want to comment. But makes no difference- less than 2% of my posts ever got posted and from what I hear that is normal-what gets posted? Hateful posts/puma posts, 'I CAN'T believe you crazy nutso people' those got posted. I read through the posts that were approved. And I couldn't understand for a long time. I would copy and paste my original post and resubmit and say can u please post this.. they did rarely after I asked two or three times.. beg :/ but I seen people ranting in the forums... 'This won't get posted-they never get posted(one writes)- CNN what is wrong with you, why don't you post my submissions'. I read what they wrote. And it doesn't fit their agenda. It took me awhile to figure out they what they were doing.(or think they were doing) After my civil posts that were informative.. directing people to fec.gov about checking PAC donations n such weren't getting posted... but people screaming in the forums doing personal attacks on others and candidates.. and generally it was on Obama/biden- and clearly puma type of posting, ya know the ones saying put hillary for vp or I'm voting McCain.. that is mostly the comments I seen in the forums, those types. But their articles do reflect exposing McCain, or edgy things on the Repubs. So I got to thinking. They are riling up people. Doing those so called 'leaks' and 'a source told me' stuff like that. Then letting the hostile Obama haters to do most the commenting on the bad jab at McCain. And most know that is a no no in credible reporting. You always need to source your article. That is why I do not care for CNN. It does fuel issues and intentionally baits readers and misleads public on 'a inside source', 'leaks' that don't exist. Only thing I can say is stay away from comments. And go into ireports for uncut/unedited for world news where people do their own type of reporting -- for ex.. when Russia invaded Georgia I watched that at times because people uploaded celly video's and home videos of what was really going on, things you don't see on tv. .. well and many other things like natural disasters around the world n such... :/ Another less corporate controlled source is vimeo you all can check that out. That site has more than what any news could offer-it is an outlet that would appeal to anyone on any level. I hope these are enriching and opens a new avenue for anyone interested. cheers- |

I like this one September 29, 1998 The United States Congress passes the "Iraq Liberation Act", which states that the US wants to remove Saddam Hussein from office and replace the government with a democratic institution. November 13-14, 1998 US President Clinton orders airstrikes on Iraq. Clinton then calls it off at the last minute when Iraq promises once again to unconditionally cooperate with UNSCOM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_disarmament_crisis_timeline_1997%E2%80%932000 Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. 2,546,194 articles in English You did not just use wikipedia as a source. Jeez- It is done by the people, it is not one sided like CNN or FOX News..... Anyway, that is the whole internet, I can post a web site with whatever I want on it. If that is your bases on making it unreliable, then every web site has the potential for unreliability. You will argue about anything, won't you? Most people do understand that wikipedia is not the best source to cite if you're going to do research. We know that you're not going to listen to anyone and do what you want anyway. But, there's really nothing to argue about in this case. |

in the end this is almost a mute issue, when you consider that just a handful of corporations control ALL the media, including print, in the US..censorship is no longer necessary, what you see is what benefits the corporate agenda...there is no liberal or conservative "voice", just talking heads spouting the approved corporate propaganda...

What the Liberals(as you call them)want is not Censorship. Its to provide a counterpoint to what Rush and Sean and other Conservative hosts say. The is taken from Wikipedia: Fairness Doctrine: The Fairness Doctrine was introduced in the U.S. in 1949. The doctrine remained a matter of general policy, and was applied on a case-by-case basis until 1967, when certain provisions of the doctrine were incorporated into FCC regulations.[3] It did not require equal time for opposing views, but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The Fairness Doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows or editorials.(editbyjessed). Thats not Censorship. It just gives more then just one view on a subject(s). |
