Re: I watched Pat Robertson and Foulwell
The fact is, I agree with your statement re sandboxes. That's a different issue though. While I haven't given televangalists the same 3-day chance, I suspect that they _say_ something. Religious mumbling, while frequently reactionary, judgemental, thickheaded, and exclusionary, at least expresses an opinion. I don't see fart jokes doing the same.
However, webster defines "censoring" as "to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable"
So, my original statement is incorrect, as that's exactly what happened.
The spirit of what I said, though, still holds: I don't consider this censorship that is wrong or sinister. At a certain point, I believe that the removal of non-speech from public media is good; I think that's the case here. I'd never tell Howard what to think or not to think, or what to say/not say in private. I believe in a slightly higher standard for public airwaves though.
