More Censoring?

The White House is censoring the news from France! At the bottom of the screen, on the public television WHYY, from where I can watch news from abroad, was a message saying that at the request of the White House, audiovisual from Afghanistan was being censored!....

Mind you, this was a reportage done by the french television.

The French radio this morning said they regret such decision, that all citizens should be able to know and hear what is being broadcasted. Already we know that we are not being told everything, but when censoring is written on the screen it touches a nerve! There is no reason what so ever, and I AM MAD!

Editor's note: Yes, and even France didn't know vital information that would save lives. I taught them that and empowered them too because information even though accurate, is not enough to solve problems now. Hopefully, in the future it will be.
