Liberals wish they had absolute power over the media here in the U.S. the way the Communists in China do there. Liberals would ban all Conservative programs---FOX News, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, etc. There would be no mention of Tea Party rallies in the media. Total control. Liberals are jealous of the Chinese.

China bans time travel for television

Posted by: CNN.com business producer, Kevin Voigt

Hong Kong, China (CNN) – China has been cracking down on dissent of late, as the recent detainment of artist Ai Weiwei suggests.

But the latest guidance on television programming from the State Administration of Radio Film and Television in China borders on the surreal – or, rather, an attack against the surreal.

New guidelines issued on March 31 discourage plot lines that contain elements of "fantasy, time-travel, random compilations of mythical stories, bizarre plots, absurd techniques, even propagating feudal superstitions, fatalism and reincarnation, ambiguous moral lessons, and a lack of positive thinking."

“The government says … TV dramas shouldn’t have characters that travel back in time and rewrite history. They say this goes against Chinese heritage,” reports CNN’s Eunice Yoon. “They also say that myth, superstitions and reincarnation are all questionable.”

The Chinese censors seem to be especially sensitive these days. But for the television and film industry, such strictures would seem to eliminate any Chinese version of “Star Trek,” “The X-Files,” “Quantum Leap” or “Dr. Who.” And does that mean rebroadcast of huge Hollywood moneymakers like “Back to the Future” and the “Terminator” series are now forbidden?

What an uninformed thing to say. I assume you heard that on one of the programs you mention and it was somehow presented at fact, so you accepted it as such. I feel bad for you.
