The story here isn't about immigration, it's about government censorship pressure on US media companies. Which I think fits that guideline.

I think people might be missing the hack here, because the front story is such an ongoing political (and moral) football.

The hack is in the leak, and the sudden availability, of the video segment, across international borders, against the Weiss will (and apparently against the Ellison and Trump will), rebounding back to us in the US via the good graces of https://archive.org and via some true journalistic (or political) chutzpah.

That's what drew me to this page, to learn more about how presumed underhanded corrupt billionaire-sanctioned censorship was defeated by an innocent premature distribution.

Stand with me as I rise to sing O Canada!

See the funny part about those guidelines is the part where it says "If it's on the news, it probably is off topic"

Which is funny, see, because this video wasn't on the news! How nice of CBS to ensure it didn't hit the news so we could talk about it here.

State-controlled media in the US is a new phenomenon
