There is no freedom of speech, and a pervading censorship of all media, including more and more of the internet. Speak out, go to jail.

"NBC did not edit the performance out of the West coast tape-delayed broadcast that night, but reruns of the episode use footage from the dress rehearsal"

Where's the difference? Talking about media.

Well you are talking about NBC censoring, this on the other hand is the goverment putting people in prison. Since the govt controls the TV and papers you wouldn't find much information about the Moscow protests that took place a few months ago. You'd have to look to the internets, which are next in line to be censored. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_press_in_the_Ru...

I'm just saying that there are multiple ways of having censored media. Some of which feature govt controlling said medias, some don't, some might be pure commercial, but the end result might look surprisingly the same.
