[Most believe] the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was yanked by CBS because of CBS’s objection to the Smothers Brothers’ edgy commentary about social issues. Various "public" television stations, in their December fund-raising, are showing a documentary special that pushes that view. … But that’s only part of what got the show yanked. The other part was … guest Dan Rowan … gave the "fickle-finger-of-fate" award (i.e., the finger) to John O. Pastore, a U.S. Senator … [with] a great deal of power over … the federal agency that censors radio and television. That man was not even mentioned in the documentary. Why not? Here’s my "public choice" speculation. Pastore is also known for pushing hard for subsidies to public broadcasting. Indeed he did so only about a month after CBS yanked the Smothers Brothers show. He became a hero to those who believe in tax-financed subsidies to public television.
Or you could just read this as saying US TV was and is censored by powerful politicians. If you believe that sort of thing happens all the time in other nations, why not here too?
Help friend, Help the World!Dear Sir,I don’t know the local here in China are not allowed visit your site. And my girl said that she has lost many pictures that I mean my girl lost her computer so I wanna see if your site has my girl’s picture. Can u tell me why?I wanna say I don’t know whether my girl is die or not now. And I can’t get contact with my girl—Portia Parttel, and my sister-in-law Elezabeth Parttel(Portia Parrtel’s sister )who is all from UK.Before she was in Ghana for a Fashion Show. Someone who stolen her computer. And spread all her picture online. I have to pick some of her picture online for many days. And on Dec.2th, 2008, when she went to the airport there was a badly long car accident including my girl in it. Then my girl Portia Parttel was taking to one of the hotel in one of the Hotel in Ghana by some of Chinese People’s Liberation Army, directed by one General in the army. Some do the forced operation of Chinese People’s Liberation Army, directed by one General in the army. Some do the forced operation of Chinese People’s Liberation Army do all the bad the things to my girl---Portia Parttel.The car accident made many people died in Accra city, Ghana.I don’t know who give the permit to the army forced of Chinese People’s Liberation Army to that car accident and then did all the bad things to my girl.If the president of our country, I mean China, gave the permit, I think she forgot the Basic Law of Four who built when our Red Army who build the country, and told never changed this. I think if the president of the country gave the permit, I think he is lying to our all the world. And making our country lost faith to the Whole World. And think he should be sentenced in the prison. And it is the class A war criminals.If the president of our country, I mean China, why the General of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, made the long car accident badly in Accra city, Ghana. I think if the president of the country gave the permit to variable direction slaughter in another country’s people. I don’t know why even such a General come back even got many honor. And I don’t know our president of our country, I mean China why he tired to broken the Army law built many years from July, 1927, when the first army built really. I don’t know even such a General come back even got many honor. And I don’t know our president of our country, I mean China why he tried to broken the law built many years.The president of our country, I mean China, now Changed the Basic Law of Four, and also now changed our Army Law built from July, 1927, I don’t know what he want.I wanna say that the Red Army who built our country, even the marshal who made a mistake, some will be punished, you now some die you can’t believe, without medicine, without any care. And you know all of them has its own Army in the hand. But what they said they die without any regret for the punishment.But now some of wanna changed our country. Changed the Law, and changed our army law.But the president of our country gave them the big prize.I don’t know whether my girl is die or not. I love my girl.Days ago, I learnt from her sister, he has fainted many times a day. And she just told me her legs is bad hurt(and even now can’t walk now, some of the government sent men pushed my girl down when she is in the westernunion and that day she got fainted, I sent my girl small money, I have lost my job for many days) and her breast and her neck(even her secret place, I learnt from a friend, but my sister-in-law didn’t tell me).Hope all the world to together to help my girl left Ghana(I don’t know she is die or not), even a months she is not get more better(I just learnt that). Some of the leader is really bad, they wanna change anything in our country, even the Army Law built since July, 1927.Import history:1.When my mother and and my father built their own house in one country side in China, they put all the marshal pictures on all side walls living room. But I don’t know some family of marshal come to my parents who built the house wanna take my mother by the throat. And they do this many time even my mother is more 65 years old. I don’t know why this happened in China. My father is a railyway worker all her life.2.I don’t know why one claimed my “uncle”, he is stay with my parents for many years, I don’t know why he has sexed with one female in that countryside when pregnancy someone sent someone to kill the female and the kids. So he stayed all single life. Several years ago, he is poisoned by Sexual stimulants and dead. I don’t know why the China’s government did that.3.My grandpa is a very tall man. And I think he has studied in one top of the university in one of the best country . I hope when u read this hope you can find my grandpa in your school, you will find the important history. And I don’t think he is from Russia. No history can give me any evidence to show me he is from Russia. When I seen my grandpa bone, the bone need a very tall casket. I learnt from the bone there is one who claimed the great man in China, but I found from the bone he has changed all the Chinese history from my grandpa’s bone. And now all the history in China are lying to the student and all the people. And I think the man is only can studio poem and he don’t know how to control anything.4.One who claimed my “grandma”, she made everytime wanna kill my grandpa. So my grandpa even waited anytime who is claimed my “uncle” tasted then my grandpa will take it. Even my grandpa is sick, the “uncle” told my grandpa whatever you have to wait when he is come back. Then he tasted the medicine then my grandpa will take it. You know I never call anytime her “grandma”. I didn’t like to see her, when I saw her, I run away.5.After I born there, I learnt from their face.6.But when she died, the “uncle” said burial them together.7.I didn’t call the “uncle” even a time.8.Before my uncle died, the “uncle” said, he said he wanna burial together with them. So my parents did.9.I remember this “uncle” only, others I will not see them only a glimpse.Hope all the world to together to help my girl(Portia Parttel) left Ghana(I don’t know she is die or not), even a months she is not get more better(I just learnt that). Some of the leader is really bad, they wanna changed anything in our country, even the Army Law built since July, 1927.I think my grandpa is a great man in the World, no other man can compare with my grandpa, I wanna find my grandpa’s school. Thanks all the World.

The power of propaganda has been known for a long time. Is there any doubt that this hasn't been a powerful incentive for control? Or is it that this occurred here and so recently that gives you pause? What others may be underway even today, although much of it tends towards amateur hour conspiracy theories now?
