Now tell me again why that isn’t censorship?

It's only censorship if the government doesn't allow other willing networks to broadcast their views.

Well, that ain’t quite how “public” broadcasting is sold, including the Beeb. They tell us it belongs to “all the people” and so forth. Except when “some of the people” who don’t fit some particular political bent want to speak. Then the collective decides who is and isn’t “approved.”

And this is nothing new. Martin Luther was a heretic when he posted his document on the Church door. They tried to shut him up too.
