"...a dissenting voice to shut up."
And even more so:
From the current Chairman of the Greenwich Community Television
Committee, Stuart Reider:
"Democracy Now and the program of Rye pundits don't meet the
criteria we have established"
You will notice that Greenwich Community Television Channel 79 is no
longer the news program "Democracy Now!"
(http://www.democracynow.org).
The decision to cancel it was not made by any committee or by complaints to the First Selectman's office, but by a single individual who, during a cocktail conversation, heard someone say they didn't like the program.
Just another example of "The answer in Greenwich always seems to be to try and get a dissenting voice to shut up."

We need to stop political censorship in Greenwich.
Censorship exists when a government conceals information from its citizens. Basically, the logic is that if the people don’t have enough information, they won’t be able to hold a government or political party accountable. It is also the suppression of views that are contrary to those of the government in power.
Most democracies condemn political censorship, but some privately endorse it.
The word censorship comes from the Latin word censor, the job of two Romans whose duty was to supervise public behaviour and morals, hence 'censoring' the way people acted back then.
Censorship is the suppression of speech or deletion of communicative material which may be considered objectionable, harmful or sensitive, as determined by a censor. Censorship is the act or practice of removing material from things we encounter every day.
