It is not illegal for a network to “censor” information. It’s not even really censorship—which is usually attributed to a government.
And, all of the network employees are complicit in this because they like to get paid.
Who are the real suckers? The viewers who trust they are getting ”news.”
Watching any news on the air without a skeptical eye is just naive.
“It is not illegal for a network to “censor” information.”
Maybe not technically illegal; AFAIL there are no laws about it. But Freedom Of The Press exists so the press can INFORM the citizenry, not manipulate.
“It’s not even really censorship—which is usually attributed to a government.”
“Usually”. But there are even more powerful NGOs which censor to a more destructive end than government. Facebook. Twitter. (Even FR censors.)
