Right now, I'm wondering about newspapers. I mean, they very selectively 
report only certain news stories. And some newspapers seem to definitely 
only report information that makes their favoured political party look 
good, or the opposition look bad. Now I'm curios to know whether this is 
actually legal.

(Of course, it's not the same thing as ISP censorship at all. Somebody 
has to *write* the news, after all. And it can be very difficult indeed 
to write in a way which is truly objective and unbaised. But some 
publishers don't even attempt to be objective. Is that legal?)
