And in this case it's good that at least some news networks did broadcast. But what if all news networks decided that they will not broadcast anything from republican government or republican party at all? And then the audience would have no means to hear the message, because they wouldn't know there is a message to be heard. And I find censorship like this extremely dangerous. I also don't consider media outlets to be audiences. They are platforms on which the messenger and their audience can meet. Just like newspapers, radio internet and such. I do understand that this is not a simple issue, but a complicated one and details would need to be clarified, but I don't think a high level of censorship is in anyones best interest.
Well the hyperbole was invented for a purpose, and that purpose was to magnify the point.
