But the blatant sex or support for the liberal agenda don't seem to be a problem??

This is what the liberals want to happen here with reinstating the "Fairness Doctrine."

The Swedish government strongly opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq, saying it lacked a U.N. Security Council mandate.

Hey we don't need a U.N. Security Council mandate

Mandates are so gay

Bought a car recently. Considered a Volvo. I'm increasingly glad I didn't choose it.

The Swedes are crazy - Oprah is against the war and hates our military.

Pretty funny that we never hear them censoring any of the many programs with strong liberal biases, but let Oprah stray off the reservation for an hour and - whammo - the Swedes attack!

it was censuring an Oprah Winfrey talk show for showing bias

I would censure Oprah for showing bs.

The program wasn't "censured".

This bothered me a bit so I checked out the swedish "granskningsnämnden" http://www.grn.se/grn_index.asp

The issue wasn't the subject of the program, but rather that tv4 ommitted to note that it was a "partial" program.

There is no such thing as content censuring on swedish TV.

This is coming from a country where a prominent politician just got stabbed to death because she didn't have bodyguards and the department store security guards were woefully incompetent.

So, Sweden, how's that peacenik stance working for you?

Typical example of where leftist policies will take us. If Americans don't stand up and speak out now we may be forever silenced . . .

That's exactly what the left counts on... people failing to stand up! Complacency kills!
