What century does a person have to be stuck in to rely on cable/satellite TV while everything's been on the web for years?!!
    That's not the point.

    It's about censorship and I think everyone can decide for themselves how to perceive the news or what is reported to them. Even if it's 'propaganda' or the most biased of sources, so what?

    So these countries who pride themselves on liberties (i.e. freedom of expression), are saying nothing. What do you know about Eutelsat? Probably nothing.

    I probably agree with you on that. Even if those terrorist skunks can in no way teach people liberties, it doesn't give anyone a right to cut them off, coz it does violate freedom of expression. So, what I was saying is that for me personally, it wouldn't be a big deal coz I can barely imagine myself watching that stuff, and besides, I could figure a way to watch what I wanna watch, even if it got removed from satellite broadcasting.

    That's probably one of the problems. Too many people think it's not a big deal.
