TV journalism? How about a swift kick in the ass?

Censorship...It doesn't exist in American society, right? Freedom of speech, freedom of press, and all that good stuff. Pretty much everything we've been working towards for the last, oh...couple hundred years or so. Are you prepared to let all of that slide down the drain so soon after is has supposedly been acheived? If not, then mabye you should start writing a couple of well placed "letters to the editor" telling them where they can stuff their TV news. I know it can be argued that molding the news to be purely ratings oriented might not be looked at as a form of censorship, so don't waste my time with stupid comments and hate mail. If you have enough time to read this, and you feel that way, just go back to watching Oprah reruns and leave the rest of us alone. Those of us with and IQ above room temperature can see that any form of changing what really happened in order to please certain people is a form of censorship, even if it is done merely to keep the viewers attention. I don't know about you, but I personally don't want to be censored for the rest of my life. Do something about it. Write a letter.
