Companies & Governments in the US & West censor for political reasons. Why is this any different?

Network television is some fine goalpost-moving, but as far as general media access goes you can find it on 3 US streaming services, and the reason no broadcast network is picking it up for redistribution has no basis in government censorship.

As the sibling comment demonstrates, this is not at all a result of Government action.

To be honest, I can't think of ANY current-event-protraying foreignly-produced media that would be shown on networked television in the US.

I haven’t seen the film and don’t intent to watch it. It is it Russian Propaganda? I thought Oliver Stone is an American. No, we are not obligated to show Russian propaganda in network television.

He may be an American but it sure sounds like he's on the payroll of the Kremlin. His son works for RT ever since 2015 and he has neatly parroted most Kremlin talking points regarding Ukraine up until the war itself.
