    There is a massive distance between reporters having sources, and reporters/news orgs having a weekly sync where the idea is to enable federal officials to censor what can be talked about. This is about as anti-US as you can get, and about what I would expect in the PRC.

      We'll have to agree to disagree on that interpretation of events. Also, "active selective silencing" is a vague enough term that it can apply to all forms of moderation.
