>>>You had it almost 100% right; you dont need to find any "extreme cases". The standard procedure today is (1) just find anything you dont agree with, (2) categorize it using one of several off-the-shelf "anti-whatever" phrases, (3) threaten to withdraw financial support, and (4) get rid of it. No discussion necessary. Everyone homogenized.

Two grannies from Florida need to write a few letters, and then monthly work of several people doesn't get in the air. That's what happened to one show on PBS back in... around 2006-8. Based solely on the title, they wrote a few letters and the PBS "decided" to never air it because of "public outrage". Happy to know there are people who would leak this kind of fraud to the public.

So extreme is whatever can get a dozen people to write letters about it.
