[Mb-civic] NYTimes.com Article: Some Stations Won't Show 'Private Ryan'

How true you are and ever so transparent are they...in fact, incredible ignorance, hypocrisy and to think we great Americans would laud their moral convictions as accurate-as you say piffle....whew!

"Sanctions from the F.C.C.?"  Piffle.  The reason these stations are not
showing the film is because it has an ultimately anti-war message, and shows
the true horrors of war - which "they" (the corporate-controlled media)
don't want people to see because it might make them re-think Iraq, and
perhaps even war in general.  Which is ironic, since, when this film was
first released, everyone - Republicans and Democrats - lauded it.  Now that
it might "go against the grain" for the G.O.P., they are doing whatever they
can to shut it down, crying "we're afraid of the F.C.C." - which is
controlled by G.O.P. pawn Michael Powell.  What tripe.

Peace.
