Charlatan: As trade barriers come down and technology provides for ever more channels through the same or similar media, no single government can control the access to airwaves.
Control in that old way is dead, it's no longer practical, I think what they meant in the quiz is censorship.
Myself, I believe that every liberal democracy is in need of is an equal representation rule.
For every murder report, there should be equal weight given to a birth.. For every columbine a piece on the setting up of a new system of education in underprivelidged neighborhoods or whatever.
