re: #75 Destro

TWC carries RT. Russia Today. A mouthpiece for Russia and Putin which also makes money from oil and petroleum products but there is a Russian ex-pat community here that likes the channel so they get a pass. There is an anti-Arab bias in the NYC community and al-Jazeera does not get a pass. Simple as that.

This is just more evidence that the USA is a faux land of the free speech nation where self censorship is practiced.

No, self-censorship is not the same thing as not having free speech. Comparing government oppression of speech to a cable network not carrying a particular channel or show or whatever is deeply stupid. Some idiots were saying the same thing about people trying to get Rush Limbaugh off the air after his ‘slut’ comments.

You make a perfectly good point that they carry Russia Today, and that that shows that they’re not dropping this because it’s a government-owned organization. I completely agree it’s because of the Muslim association.
