WHEN NEWSPAPERS DECIDE TO PRINT OR NOT PRINT A STORY--THE ISSUE IS CALLED EDITING AND THIS CAN BE ESPECIALLY WITH LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
-WHEN TV/RADIO DECIDE TO AIR OR NOT AIR A STORY--IT'S CALLED PROGRAMMING
--WHEN LIBRARIANS DECIDE WHAT WILL BE IN THE COLLECTION-IT'S CALLED--SELECTIVE REVIEW
WHEN CITIZENS/TAXPAYERS DECIDE TO HAVE OR NOT HAVE BOOKS/MATERIALS IN THE LIBRARY--IT'S CALLED CENSORSHIP
ALL OF THE ABOVE IS THE CHOICE FOR OR AGAINST SOMETHING--BUT THE ONLY ONE WITH A STIGMA ATTACHED TO IT IS THE CITIZEN/TAXPAYER--CENSOR.
See how labeling can bring about an opinion--this is verbal gymnastics.
Hope you see the point.
