Did we do the right thing.....censoring CBS?

[Huck]

We didn't censor them. We censured them, and it was the right thing to do.

cbs was not censored. They were subject to the market forces that broadcast television lives in. The move to showtime is to take it to a pay only arena.

Hallmark is going to distribute this. We are well withing our rights to not patronize them or buy CRWN stock in light of their distribution agreemtn with CBS productions.

Is it censorship when HBO only runs the Sopranos, and it isn't found on the public channels?

Isn't this a matter of supply and demand? The public viewers don't want this on the air, but the private viewers can pay to watch it, if they wish.

We didn't censor them. We made our voice heard. As President Bush said, the best form of censorship is to turn the channel. In this case, contacting the station worked just as well.

We didn't censor them, we held their feet to the fire. We forced them to admit that they were wrong to consider airing lies and presenting them as truth.

hmmmmm.....did we censor CBS, I do not think so....we have a right to voice our displeasure with a slanderous movie a network broadcaster was planning to show. I do not see it as censorship, as the conservatives voiced their opinion, and CBS still could show the show if they wanted. However it is interesting, the economics of the situation, corrected an injustice.......nothing wrong with that

We didn't censor CBS. We gave them a free-market choice. They chose profit over "principle". And wisely so.
