Question about censorship:

[Prudence]

It's the ol' time and place argument.

I certainly agree that people should feel free to use their own resources to express themselves as openly as they'd like, within established boundaries of law.

However, if I owned a broadcast television or radio station, and I depended on the continued enthuiasm of advertisers for my product, and I didn't want to incur yet another silly FCC fine (don't get me started there), and you represented to me that you were going to make comments of a certain nature, and when live and on air you went off script -- I'd be mighty damn annoyed.

It's not public television.

Now, conversely, if I owned a broadcast station, and if I had strict rules about what could and couldn't be said or done on my station, and if I rigidly enforced these rules, and if I edited all footage to reflect my views, and if every "live" show were a carefully scripted act -- then I hope you would use whatever appropriate and available forum to let others know the reality of my business practices.
