Who do you suppose pressured the NYSE to remove Al-Jazeera cameras?

I don't suppose any such thing. Rather, I'm certain that the only 'pressure' that lead to the NYSE's decision - not to say that it isn't considerable - is that of the marketing value presented (or preserved, as the case might be) by that decision in the eyes of its' customer constituency; which is to say, competitive/marketplace forces. Those are, of course, the same driving factor behind similar decisions made by various private media businesses...and, moreover, doesn't constitute "censorship" to any degree.

Of course, if you have credible evidence outlining the existence of some external factor - better yet, a conspiracy - whereby various businesses and institutions are being "pressured" not to cover various viewpoints or stories...I'm open to hearing them.
