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?)
