Saying it's censorship doesn't end the issue any more than saying the First Amendment does not sanction the shouting of "fire" in a crowded theater. There's a reason people still practice law in this area; they'd be out of business in a heartbeat if the First Amendment actually ever meant what it said.

What is the rational for broadcast being less regulated than, let's say, print?
