STREISAND'S WHINES
Barbara Streisand is whining that CBS' decision not to air the movie it made about Ronald and Nancy Reagan "is censorship, pure and simple." No, Barbara, censorship would be if the government had taken some action to stop the network from airing the piece. It didn't. Private citizens did. That's not censorship, that's one group of people influencing another group of people through speech -- just what you want to do. I know you're not very smart, Babs, so this has to be set out very simply for you: "censorship" that means anything requires government action.
Oh, and the movie's going to be shown on cable, anyway. What a whiner!
