How do you square that with living in a country where free speech is heavily constrained?
Manipulation of the press is one thing but freedom of speech is another.
That guy who posted a joke on twitter about blowing an airport up because he was annoyed got prosecuted for inciting terrorism.
Not censorship so much as sense of humour failure?
Except all communications to and from or near points of entry were monitored by the state, which is why they had to drum up a false story of an airport worker 'accidently' chancing upon the tweet.
Censorship is ludicrous, free speech is where is at. Theatre scripts used to pass under tha gaze of the lord chamberlain, a high and mighty official who deemed, among other things that the suggestion of Queen Victoria being gay would corrupt society(Early Morning). It took the power of the mighty Edward Bond to challenge the LC's authority. Sadly vestiges of the attitude that the persons of a higher rank know best still persist.The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -

(having a bad day, mind has turned to jelly after 5hours on the phone trying to sort out the logic programming of a control system that hasn't got enough relays in it !! Sorry )Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.
Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved0 -

Programmes require no logic. Not if you're female anyway. And relay require nothing more than someone to take the stick for your mistakes.
