Why was Lisa's post about religion removed?
Comments on Stories, posted by Janna, a resident of Dublin, on Feb 20, 2009 at 8:38 am

Lisa made perfectly valid points and asked good questions. Why are you censoring her PW?

Because the editors are playing GOD!

The above post appears to be a reference to the Fairness Doctrine, yet the removal of the post in question by the PW is an example of censorship by owner, not by government. Now the main difference is that Lisa is free to go open her own website and assert her freedom of speech because the Internet is rather infinite while Lisa would be unable to freely do so on the limited resource of the radio spectrum.
