New Delhi, Nov 16 (IANS) Underlining his commitment to freedom of the press, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday said censorship was not the answer but journalists must curb sensationalism and ensure that objectivity is promoted.
In a message on National Press Day, the prime minister ruled out restrictions on the media, but warned against the perils of irresponsible journalism.
"As a country, we believe in complete independence of the media from external control," he said. However, he also added: "It is true that sometimes irresponsible journalism can have serious consequences for social harmony and public order, which the public authorities have an obligation to maintain, but censorship is no answer."
"It is for the members of the Fourth Estate themselves to collectively ensure that objectivity is promoted and sensationalism is curbed. It is for them to introspect how best they can serve our country and society and advance their well being."
"A free and fair media has been an essential pillar of our democracy. Since our struggle for freedom, media has been guiding social change, informing readers of their rights and contributing to the nationbuilding process by spreading awareness," he said.

TODELLISUUSMEDIA VOTING IS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION 3D
Voting is freedom of expression and important part of free speech. Restrictions towards voting is censorship of opinions in global scale. Finland has too much politicians who dont understand what voting really is about. Especially populist politicians in Finland use term freedom of speech to allow hate speech to gain popularity but dont want to give Finnish people opportunity to vote freely without stupid restrictions. In America during the 2012 Presidential elections many people have realized how stupid the electoral votes system is. George Bush did not win fairly Al Gore which was a major thing that ruined the Republicans image in my mind originally. Now that Barack Obama twice have won reasonably fairly in popular votes and electoral votes the game has changed and there are some hope for advancement of freedom of expression by voting at least in regards more people knowing how fucked up the legislation is. Globally. In Finland The Green Party have been only party that have been reasonably vocal of making legislation more fair. Opponents are stil too strong and the compromises could screw up the possibility to have major advancement in democratic process here in Finland. Timo Soini and Jussi Halla-aho are the two worst examples of politicians who dont give a fuck about real freedom of expression. Now in 2012 it maybe already too late...From:TODELLISUUSMEDIA2012Views:3 0ratingsTime:00:21More inPeople Blogs

Christians Freak Out Over Obama #39;s Win - Banned From Youtube!
The original video was censored by Youtube and deleted off the internet. Here is an edited version. There was a concerted effort by people in my area to have this video removed and to shut me up. Youtube finally gave in and claims they banned it because I used people #39;s real names. This makes absolutely no sense. How the fuck are you suppose to quote someone without using their real name? It #39;s okay for these people to go on the internet and publicly call Obama a "nigger", but it #39;s not okay for me to take a screenshot of it and read it word for word? The system is fucked. Please share this video and help spread the word about Youtube #39;s retarded censorship problems. Hundreds of people shared links to the original video, and now all those links are dead and thus this video will be seen far fewer times than it normally would. The people trying to shut me up are sadly winning. Hopefully you guys will help me to overcome those who want to silence the message. Also, Logic Tee #39;s are available @ http://www.CultofDusty.com and sales really do help support this channel and ensure their is more frequent content. Thank you.From:CultOfDustyViews:6002 1056ratingsTime:07:17More inEntertainment
