Censored?

Everytime I switch that channel on, they are taking pot shots at the
sensibilities of the UK government, and sending reporters to uncover
problems in psychiatric institutions and prisons.

Well, I'm all for it, we should get a Chinese and arab english news as
well, I think it would be sobering to see the various takes on things in
other places. I listened to shortwave radio a lot when young and feel I do
have a lot more sympathy for other views than otherwise.

That's kind of a circular statement as the reporters when in these
institutions usually start with "Minister....." or "I'm talking to the
MP for ..." ;-)
