This fascinatingly illustrates a concept that Chomsky emphasizes, but is rarely so glaringly obvious: In the US the government does not need to crack down on free expression the way the government in China or Singapore does, because American corporations happily apply censorship without any legal requirement to do so. This is why some stories are essentially missing from our newspapers and news broadcasts, etc. I highly recommend the documentary "Manufacturing Consent" which features a lot of Chomsky's ideas on this kind of thing.
