But it is an extension of the McCarthy Plan To Eradicate The Opposition. The government doesn't need to censor you if the media is controlled by a handful of corporations and they decide to. Putting you out of work is better than putting you into jail.
Like Anthony said, don't want to see/listen to it? Turn it off. Don't believe it? Debate it. But a vocal minority getting to decide what gets to be aired or not is ridiculous, and it happens on both sides of the aisle.
