Showing nipples, asscrack, or being able to say "shit," certainly falls under some realm of indecency (as defined by the more culturally-conservative elements in society), but it hardly constitutes an important form of censorship. How about the fact that mainstream news, including the so-called "liberal" media, focuses so one-sidedly on issues pertaining to politics and economics that, on the rare chance that a dissident voice is permitted, it has already been so emaciated and marginalized as to render it off the radar of relevant thought.
Take the war in Iraq for example. The "left," i.e. moderate liberals, fault Bush for HOW he handled the war, that he made unwise choices in how it was handled, but not that the war itself is wrong. Or that its only logical conclusion is to further spread the flames of Islamic Fundamentalism to populations that would otherwise have been unreceptive. Or that it is being waged for imperialist purposes only and to secure our stronghold in that region.
