Censorship is done by the government. When a company in the private sector
makes decisions on what or what not to play, it's called first amendment
rights.

Censorship would be the government telling a cable news channel that they
cannot use a particular slogan.

Well, no....the issue here is whether any entity can use a deceptive slogan in order
to appear to be what they are not. Just as a timeshare company can't use the slogan
"where the real estate is free" (unless it IS, of course, but what would be the point
of that?) the FTC is being called on to refute Fox's claim that they are "Fair and
Balanced", when they are, by the consensus of professionals qualified to make such
judgements, not. Regulation is not censorship, as there are, despite what your take
on the Constitution might be, limits to "free speech". There are numerous Supreme
court cases which bear this out...of course, this one, if it gets that far, will
probably have to go that far to be determined one way or the other.
