...EDITING REALITY. More worrisome than the influence of individual commentators is the effect that can be achieved by the selection of film or tape footage. In this way TV producers can more or less edit reality. Television, even more than other media, has a bias for action and excitement. A small disturbance at a cross-section can, when it fills a TV screen, suggest an entire city in riot. Similarly, during the Newark riots of 1967, TV reporters and their audience were duped into believing that a church assistant was a minister and prominent black spokesman. Hundreds of charges...
Capitalist Instinct. Eric Gordon, a self-styled "leftist socialist" who went to China in November 1965 to edit and translate revolutionary tracts and literature for Peking's Foreign Language Press, also made one costly error. Preparing to leave China in November 1967, he packed some notebooks in his suitcases.

The newspaper ad, which Kahane wrote, declares: "Maybe some people and organizations are too nice. Maybe-just maybe -nice people build their own road to Auschwitz...
...both the Smothers Brothers and CBS, the deeper issue is whether comedians have the right to make impertinent statements without network interference. Tommy and Dicky maintain that every self-respecting wit must lace his humor with social comment. Further, they say, CBS's insistence on its "responsibility" to edit out "bad taste" only perpetuates blandness and denies a forum of expression to young adults (who form nearly one-third of the Smothers audience), blacks, and any other minority with "unpopular" opinions.*"No one gets after Bob Hope for his views on the war," says Tommy acerbically. "How the hell...
