Technically, you're right. Media in America is dangerously moderated and by too few individuals. However, the argument being made here is that it's not censorship if it does not involve the threat of force:
While that is an extension of the term's general use, Dantheman is careful to explain that it's necessary to specify so that we don't "talk past each other." It's always most effective to respond to writings in their own terms. It may be that you're just using the visibility to champion an unrelated cause, but I'd be careful about seeming to muddy this post's use of the term. It has been made clear to keep people from mislabelling, on Steemit, what is not censorship, on Steemit. Sorry to be pedantic, but it matters.
(No offense meant or taken.)
The federal reserve has enabled consolidation of the media through mergers. The internet gives us an alternative outlet. I don't watch 90% of the media and neither does anyone else with half a brain. Complaining about them is pointless, and technically isn't censorship.
Right. It makes no sense to watch most of the media.
