pbs apparently has policy prohibiting persons being interviewed for broadcast from using terms 'capitalist' and 'capitalism', reference to 'business elite' is ok, info comes from michael zweig who was recently subjected to said policy... michael hoover
That's an outrageous policy, of course, but if I were on mainstream TV, I wouldn't use "capitalist" or "capitalism" either - I'd opt for more acceptable euphemisms. I've found over the years that lots of ordinary people are susceptible to Marxist analyses as long as they don't know that's what they're hearing.
