Gov should monitor press for anything 'Anti-American'? He has got to be kidding.
In 1983 the American media was controlled by 50 corporations. In 1996 the US Congress passed the 'Telecommunications Act', it freed the hands of big capital in gaining control over all American media. As a result, today, 90% of American media and the most widely read information Internet portals are effectively controlled by 6 media giants who work under the governmental censorship: CNN, CBS, VIACOM, COMCAST, Time Warner and NewsCorp.
CNN is a subsidiary of TW and Viacom and CBS are still "controlled" by Redstone
