The intent of my previous comment was to point out that neither CNN nor MTV are liberal media and therefore aren't the topic of discussion here. I think the main issue here is blocking access to any sort of liberal, left-wing material and allowing everything else to be available.

Call me skeptical but I don't see this ever happening...

Much better than screenshots, in my opinion.

3. learn to spell correctly (not as important as step 1 or 2)
1. Block activity on port 443

Can you imagine the uproar if the roles were reversed and it was a caricature of Christ depicted in the newspapers?
Most Americans wouldn't be too pleased.
Perhaps American citizens wouldn't resort to blowing up buildings, but that's what the US government is for!!
"Is Google about to release this as an alternative to Windows?"
Could it be released as anything else?
And meanwhile, here in the US, I will still be paying outrageous prices for 16Mb/s connections
