Censorship unlikely on public TV

URBANA – The city council will consider Monday night a revised policies and procedures manual for Urbana Public Television that, in general, opposes censorship of objectionable public access programming – despite controversy about locally shown anti-Semitic programming.

One member of the Jewish community, Judy Checker of Urbana, says she's unhappy that more isn't being done to screen out public-access programming that she considers to be hate speech.
