White House has been reviewing Network prime time scripts. Rewards them if it likes what it sees:

Andrew Jay Schwartzman, president of the nonprofit Media Access Project, said: "The idea of the government attempting to influence public opinion covertly is reprehensible beyond words. It's one thing to appropriate money to buy ads, another thing to spend the money to influence the public subliminally. And it's monstrously selfish and irresponsible on the part of the broadcasters."

Some network executives said their companies submitted scripts for review in advance, while others said the White House examined shows after they aired. But all those interviewed yesterday said they never allowed the government to dictate the programs' content.
