Do you think this is an example of censorship in the USA?

Curiously, some of my questions are getting deleted from yahoo answers too. So if you answer this question, and it disappears. You know what happened.

Answer 1

My connection was so slow I  couldn't even load whatever you were referring to.  I will say this.  "even in Canada?"?  I have a friend who had a website

which is, shall we say, slightly controversial.  The zionists don't like it.

Well, he got a call from the RCMP and they wondered if he had a list

of contributors and if he'd be willing to give them  the names of

any  canadians  who contributed.

So, I'm wondering what you might mean be "even in  canada".

Pretty much  if you stay inside the law here you can say anything

you feel like affording yourself the expense of saying.  Those media

outlets which rely on advertising  dollars will be self-censored by

fear of (or threat of) boycotting. My friend also had a little radio

show once a week for two hours and as soon as the wealthy

gentleman whose hobby was giving  *every* viewpoint an

airing got sick and his housekeeper  got control of his assets

and thought she stood to lose money by having a jew boycott

foist against advertising on the station,  he lost his show.

It wasn't  government censorship though.

It's all done with  bribes and threats of withdrawal of the bribes

nowadays.  Politicians pour money into ad camaigns which enrich

the self-same outlets which are  charged with informing us of their

various shortcomings.  That's why  it's so important  for a politician

to collect so much  money  to spend in that way now--the guy who

spends too little has to worry if the news venue is going to be

inclined to worry about his revenues to them and soft-pedal

his  scandal or bad voting record or whatever.  It's not so much

censorship  as it is corruption---it all  winds up  functioning about

the same though.

And yes   there are ads on Yahoo and yes many of us find our

content being deleted.

There's a big surprise.

Answer 2

America;s press ranks 47th among all nations on the freedom scale. In other words we no longer have a "free" press. The patriot act lists a bunch of thing the press can't cover and no one says a word. And the police arrest reporters to keep them from covering stories (which is a constitutional right) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaJapSwYL...

Answer 3

On the surface, it is disturbing. Before reaching any judgment, however, whatever network that was should issue a statement about what happened. Maybe an intern tripped on the cord.

Who is being accused of censorship here? I did read on one site that the entire press conference was carried on CNN without interruption. Not sure if that is true.

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

definently. people claim that america does not censor. but we all know it's out there. everytime you hear a bleep in place of a bad word. that is definently on the more obvious examples of censorship  

Answer 6

The censorship, if there was any, (and not just a technical failure) appears to have been from the place in which the broadcast originated, not in the usa.  As to deleting questions, the first amendment is a limitation on governments, not on yahoo or on you or me, as private parties.  I am free to exclude people from my home if I don't like what they say or how they conduct themselves, and you and yahoo are free to do the same.  So, your question makes no sense.

Answer 7

I think it is they always conveniently lose reception or whatever when truth is about to come out

the news is all about agendas

I do not trust any of them
