A Channel 4 documentary that argued that global warning was a fraud is to be criticised by the media regulator. On Monday Ofcom is expected to publish a long-awaited report that upholds claims by some of the scientists who appeared in the programme last year that they were misrepresented. The Great Global Warming Swindle, which aired in March last year, has been accused of downplaying the threat in the public mind. It sparked an outcry among environmentalists and many campaigners argue that the programme has contributed to people believing that the threat is not real. It is understood that complaints...

Russian Oscars censored24/03/2008 13:13  - (SA)    Moscow - A series of jokes about President Vladimir Putin and president-elect Dmitry Medvedev were censored from the screening of Russia's equivalent of the Oscars film awards ceremony, newspapers reported on Monday. The jokes - mild by Western standards of satire - at Friday's "Nika" awards, were cut by private television station CTC in its broadcasting Saturday of the event, according to Moskovsky Komsomolets. "All the juicy stuff from the broadcast was edited out," the daily said. One of the comments axed, the newspaper said, was an allusion to uncertainty over whether Medvedev or his...

November 13, 2007 - Destin, Florida It seems as if an upcoming movie produced by a physician and former Air Force flyer is creating quite a stir. The movie “the PARALYZING AGENT” changed its title from “the Emerald coasT project…” after the director was questioned by certain officials about usage of the title and what he was disclosing in his movie. The screenwriter & director, Gene Greenlees, M.D., is a practicing anesthesiologist in Florida and is originally from Austin, Texas. At this time he would not comment about the title change, but said, “Sometimes things happen for reasons beyond your...

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. made it clear as he began taking questions at yesterday's National Italian American Foundation luncheon that he couldn't reveal any of the Supreme Court's forthcoming opinions. But did he at least give a hint? Two of the court's biggest remaining cases focus on the First Amendment, and while Alito didn't mention either, he did make it clear that any restrictions on speech face a high hurdle with him. "I'm a very strong believer in the First Amendment and the right of people to speak and to write," Alito said in response to a question of...

According to the website VidClick, actor Danny DeVito made an appearance Wednesday on the ABC gab-gest "The View" to promote his new movie "Deck the Halls." Almost immediately it was obvious he had been drinking and comediane Joy Behar said he had been throwing back the booze the entire night before with none other than George Clooney. At one point he says, "'I knew it was the last seven limoncellos that was going to get me." How often have that happened to you? If you watch the clip, DeVito does okay until he launches into a tirade about President Bush...

We may pull plug on our censored Chinese website, says Google By Catherine Elsworth in Los Angeles (Filed: 08/06/2006) The co-founder of Google has acknowledged that the internet search giant compromised its principles by agreeing to Chinese censorship demands and says it may reverse its decision. During a visit to Capitol Hill, Sergey Brin said the company's much-criticised deal to allow politically sensitive information to be filtered from web searches in China was struck only after Beijing blocked its main service. The Google.cn search engine blocks politically sensitive terms Google was examining whether the compromise - "a set of rules...

SAN FRANCISCO — Online search engine leader Google Inc. has agreed to censor its results in China, adhering to the country's free-speech restrictions in return for better access in the Internet's fastest growing market.

CRITICISM OF SUICIDE BOMBERS CENSORED AT THE UN IHEU today attempted to call on the United Nations to condemn killing in the name of religion, but were prevented from doing so by the heavy-handed intervention of Islamic representatives. The IHEU call, at today's meeting of the UN Sub-Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, follows moves by Islamic clerics to legitimise the current wave of terror attacks. At this afternoon's meeting, IHEU representative David Littman attempted to deliver a prepared text in the joint names of three international NGOs: the Association for World Education, the Association of World Citizens, and IHEU,...

WASHINGTON - The White House said a senator's comparison of American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis, Soviet gulags and Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot was reprehensible and a disservice to those serving in the military. White House press secretary Scott McClellan said it is "beyond belief" that Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin would compare treatment of dangerous enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay to the death of millions of innocent people by oppressive regimes. "Our men and women in uniform go out of their way to treat detainees humanely, and they go out of their way to uphold the values and...

This is the story of a Christmas miracle, a snowfall that couldn't be, and a cat named Tuffy, who truly was. In the waning hours of Dec. 23, 1941, Richard Wood, then age 9, was fast asleep. Not far above him, a four-engine bomber with 19 men aboard was silently gliding through the icy air, heading for an emergency landing at what was then called Davis-Monthan Field. "I assume I didn't hear it because no motors were going," says Wood, who also soundly slept through the ensuing crash - right through the roof of a house less than two blocks...

T-shirts proclaiming the message "I cant ... I'm Mormon" are apparently too hot for Brigham Young University, as the college newspaper has yanked all advertisements. According to the Deseret Morning News, the paper halted the ad campaign after complaints from students, professors and administrators who felt the slogan implied a desire to engage in "objectionable" behavior. Many thought wearers of the clothing wished they could drink, smoke or have casual sex – but were prevented solely because of their membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It is indeed unfortunate that a man who would be President so distrusts the American public and his own background that he hides material information in his military records in the hope of hornswoggling the electorate, of tricking us into believing he is one thing when, in fact, he may be another. Kerry is asking American voters to assess his fitness to serve as CinC based on his brief record in-country. But, he refuses to release his total military record, about 12 years, so that we can judge the totality for ourselves. It is not that he is asking us...

Minneapolis Star Tribune censors IPW cartoonist IowaPresidentialWatch.com’s political cartoonist, Linda Eddy, has been censored by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Eddy distributes her cartoons by email and regularly sends them to the Tribune. Her latest, showing John Kerry during his 1971 Senate testimony, is titled “Silencing Veterans since 1971” and shows an American soldier in Kerry’s hand, his head covered. Tribune Deputy Editorial Page Editor B. James Boyd responded to Eddy’s latest cartoon by banning any future editorials from the artist: “Please take me off your e-mail list. Your latest statements about Kerry are too much. He said no such...

KVI bleeps no-no in Bush talk By David Postman Seattle Times chief political reporter Seattle talk-radio station KVI-AM (570) makes a habit of clearing the air to broadcast President Bush's speeches and press conferences. It's what you do when you are the purveyors of conservative hot talk and see yourself as a bastion against liberal media bias. But a part of Bush's speech yesterday about Iraq was too hot for even KVI. An alert engineer used the station's seven-second delay to mute the offending words. Had Bush gone wobbly on Iraq, or worse, John Kerry? More nice things to say...

G.G.LIDDY CENSORED! The Nashville morning Liddy radio show has been censored at WWTN. The G-Man is no longer broadcasting there. What(if anything) can be done to protest to that radio station to get this patriotic American back on weekday mornings? Tell me & I'll do it!

Fabrizzio Quattrocchi,a 35 year old baker,who had taken a job as a security guard in Iraq,and who had been taken hostage by one of Iraq's Media Militias ( whose activities appear to be instigated,facilitated,and "co-produced" by the al-Jazeera TV network) resisted his captors to the very end,according to Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini-who has viewed the al-Jazeera tapes. Frattini told reporters for AGI (Agenzia Giornalistica Italia) "When the assassin was pointing the pistol at him,this boy tried to take off his hood and shouted: "Now I'll show you how an Italian dies!" And they killed him." Al-Jazeera, which has never...

A Dutch football club has banned one of its fans for posing for a photograph with the local mayor with his penis hanging out. Mayor Wim Deetman did not realise the ADO Den Haag fan was exposing himself when he agreed to have his picture taken with him. He had just come from a meeting with club directors and gladly posed arm in arm with the fan who was clutching a bottle of beer. It was only later, when the picture was circulated on the internet, that Mayor Deetman realised he had been set up. He is now taking legal...

Judge rejects bid on '[censored*]' sign March 20 2002 A bid by an Aboriginal activist to remove the word "[censored*]" from a football ground grandstand was yesterday thrown out by the nation's highest court. High Court Justice Mary Gaudron said "[censored*]" on the sign was no more offensive than the word "[censored*]" on a cement mixer. "Let us assume for a moment that I'm '[censored*]' - and it's not an unreasonable assumption - and I'm offended by a sign that says "[censored*]'s Porkies", she told a Brisbane sitting of the court. Justice Gaudron rejected Canberra constitutional barrister Ernst Willheim's submission...
