i beg to differ. when they deny others a forum, it's wrong.

we thought during the vietnam war that television was a "window on the world". little did we realize until later that they were manipulating the news for the purpose of turning america against the war.

Yes, they are wrong, but the question is whether it's within their rights. There's a difference between a 'right' and doing what's 'right'. Another way to put it would be that to do what's 'right' isn't always the 'right' thing to do. It's their paper/broadcast outlet. They have chosen to expend their resources to spread information around the world. It's their 'right' to spread information as they see fit. It may be the wrong thing to do, but it's their right. I know it's nit-picking point, but I think it's valid. But I certainly agree with you!
