Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMy local fox network is playing "The King's Speech" (the movie!)
And NOT airing any of the RNC.
(If you havent seen the movie, it's superb and the timing is great)
Edit to clarify: the movie is a about King George and how he copes with a substantial stutter. Sheer brilliance.

(36,747 posts)They see the polling. I think they believed it was more of a risk to air it than not.
Omission is a powerful form of censorship.
