KSL has a long history of censorship. Years ago when they were a CBS affiliate, they censored a show called picket fences over an episode that was critical of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As an NBC affiliate, they have continued their tradition of censorship such as originally decided against airing Saturday Night Live because they felt it was too risque for Utah's audience who were used to watching SNL on KUTV when they were an NBC affiliate. I personally wish I could have a different NBC affiliate knowing someday one of my favorite TV shows on NBC could be censored by KSL. The tradition of censorship continues with their comment board. You could post a comment that violates no KSL terms of service rules and it will be rejected. Interestingly, you may see similar comments to yours that did get published so you know your comment wasn't in violation of KSL's terms of service since these other comments were allowed. Sometimes they seem to reject every comment you submit even if they violate no rules and aren't considered offensive to any groups. With KSL's active censorship, how can I trust them to accurately report the news? How do I know they have censored opposing viewpoints and interviews for their news stories? I don't understand how they can be trusted with reporting the news with their bias against opposing viewpoints and even actively censoring opposing viewpoints.

They censored the word "arse" while I was commenting on a story about censorship. Well done...
