Jesse Helms Dies - Blocked Stern From Z93?

[upstate29651]

Even Sen. Helms was smart enough to realize how badly Stern sucked.

Perhaps I'm so far removed from my days at the university that I'm rusty on interpretation, but, according to Mr. Webster....

censorship - n. - The institution, system, or practice of examination in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable.

Sure sounds like stopping someone from being broadcast on the radio because you don't like the content falls into "suppression or deletion of anything considered objectionable", but maybe I'm wrong. I suppose you could make the argument that Hitler burning books was "using influence to get his own way", or perhaps school superintendants in the 60's in certain parts of the country banning Catcher in the Rye as "using influence to get his own way", but I think a lot of people would call that censorship.

As far as my city council is concerned, I vote in every election, and, should I not be happy with the result, I have to option of living somewhere else. Kinda like changing the channel.

Perhaps you folks cannot read anything that smacks of reason. The rumor that Jesse Helms kept Stern off the air in Atlanta is NOT TRUE. The ensuing debate on censorship is moot. But continue...

Thank you for proving my point. The fact that you think that you are better than someone else because of what they listen to is exactly the type of self-righteousness to which I was referring.

I am not better that anyone else here because of whom I listen to. Everyone's POV is equal, no matter how right I am are and how wrong they are, unless of course they agree with how right I am. I would certainly not suggest that someone was not allowed to express their opinion just because I don't agree with it.

If I want to hear like minded people only agreeing on the same thing over and over, I'd listen to right-wing talk radio 24/7.
