Apparently the rules precluded them from interviewing actual IRA folks so they hired actors who read the lines of the interview which was allowed. |

03 Aug 11 - 12:52 PM (#3201018) Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewart Censored in the UK From: GUEST,Jack Campin "superinjunctions" - google for it. A serious censorship issue, which this one isn't. Neither is in the same league as Obama's regime throwing somebody into an oubliette for speaking the truth. |

No. The one in the OP, yes, because it isn't at the network. Here in Canuckistan, we are referred to our comedy network that airs The Daily Show but we can't access many of the clips posted herein at that network's website. |

03 Aug 11 - 10:57 PM (#3201397) Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewart Censored in the UK From: GUEST the british censored the documentary about bloody sunday done by cbc and yorkshire tv(i think), wit6h many great interviews with the soldiers who refused to fire on unarmed people. they really do not have democracy in the uk, just an oligarchy controlled by a small group of aristocrats and very rich. i remember when the guy who wrote" armoured cars tanks and guns , got six months in jail, to which will millar of the irish rovers said"jeez bye's its a good thing you didn't write an opera". centuries of a military empire have shaped british society and government beyond much hope for real democracy. |

04 Aug 11 - 08:16 PM (#3202068) Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewart Censored in the UK From: Jack Campin So? Did the British government throw him into solitary confinement like the US did with Bradley Manning? Or get a client state to extradite him on a noonsensical charge like they did with Julian Assange? Who the fuck CARES if some TV comic gets told not to use copyrighted video? Was he revealing anything that actually matters? |

05 Aug 11 - 06:12 PM (#3202307) Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewart Censored in the UK From: Jack the Sailor It wasn't banned because it was copyrighted. It was banned because it is not legal for a comedy show to show the House of Common's in Britain. Which is full of "Brits" who are not a race but a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-racial nationality. |
