China Bans Reporting on Bridge Collapse

In today's WaPo: China Bans Reporting on Bridge Collapse - washingtonpost.com

"Communist authorities have banned most state media from reporting on the deadly collapse of a bridge in southern China, with local officials punching and chasing reporters from the scene, reporters said Friday."

Apparently physics works in both communist and non-communist countries; but a free press only in non-communist ones.
