re: Poznir
Pozner has good points:
Poznir said the U.S. media is under a different sort of control, one which began "after the Vietnam War, [when] the U.S. government began to see the power of television [images].".
And here:
Poznir said that in Russia journalists must talk about subjects like Chechnya "in a way that is accountable to the government." But the GM incident made him realize that even in America, TV executives can "ban you from saying what you think is right."
