Comparisons and degrees...
I suppose the fact that a parallel article could never have appeared in Pravda didn't figure into your thinking.
Doesn't the degree of state-censorship--or even self-censorship--mean anything to you when you make your comparisons? Or do you think that 100% censorship (USSR government) is the same as say 10% censorship (self-censorship and US-government-pressure combined) because, after all, they're both censorship?
