Too many people give the government this free pass. If they tried to actually ban the showing of "Bewitched", they know they'd get smacked down. So they do some stupid petty thing to satisfy the Ashcrofts in their base, but still avoid nationwide derision. The prejudicial denial of money is one of two sneaky US forms of censorship. The other is putting pressure on a corporation to do it, then saying it wasn't the government, so it wasn't censorship.
