  1. Self-censorship is NOT censorship by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    From an AP article about this, it says that CBS was cited

    for acts of self-censorship

    Come on, folks, self-censorship is not bad. If I am very angry at someone and want to say or do something harmful to them, but decide not to at the last moment, I have censored myself. That's called self-control. If I decide something is not good and not constructive and decide not to do it, or in this case not to air it, how is that a dishonorable thing?
