Re: [Swprograms] CCTV International CCTV-9

["Richard Cuff" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Isn't this a totalitarian approach to media -- a quid pro quo?

Shouldn't the "free markets" concept for ideas -- meaning TV channels -- 
hold sway in the USA even if it doesn't over there?

Should the US government block our access to RHC and CRI because Radio Marti
and RFA are jammed?

We shortwave listeners would howl in protest.

TV should be no exception.

If CCTV-9 shows up on Comcast in Atlanta (or anywhere else for that matter)
one should contact the local newspaper's TV editor and politely tell them
how a viewer should critically evaluate what they're seeing.

My two cents...
