Censorship by definition can only be done by government.

Both Fast and Furious and Benghazi have something to do with government, don't they? Sharyl Attkisson's beef with her fellow "journalists" and their employers (evidently YouTube qualifies) would most likely go away if government got out of the media business or the business of manipulating media.

The problem with Sheryl Attkisson is she thinks journalists are supposed to investigate and report on stuff. Just reprint those canned news pieces the government send you, Sheryl. *Sheeh*, how hard is that to remember!

As with Cuba, communist China, North Korea, the USSR, and NAZI Germany, the media is PART of the government. In the USA, the press used to "keep the government honest," but for a very long time, they've shifted far to the left, and realized that they can make the world a better place (as far as they're concerned) by teaming up with the government.

The only time the media will report wrong-doing by government is when someone doesn't stay on the leftist plantation.

Let's not forget that the NY Times promoted the writings of Walter Durante, who wrote about how wonderful life was in the Ukraine under Stalin, while Stalin was committing genocide, on par with that of NAZI Germany.
