Bobert:

Fairness is showing everything to everybody and letting them decide.

Un fairness is telling them that can't see all of the information because some one else says it is untrue and should not be shown.

I saw a political ad from Colorado. An actor dressed like one of the candidates was reaching into a coffin and taking the personal effects off of the corpse such as a wristwatch. The message was that the candidate was robbing the dead. There was a another one with the same actor at a house fire grabbing something.

Would you call this the dirtiest of the dirty? Should the public be kept from seeing such ads?

It seems that you are saying that any unfair political ad is acceptable but an unfair documentary film is not acceptable.

I say that to make such distinctions is censorship.
