Farenheit 911 (upcoming movie)
Disney censorship may block Miramax from distributing the next film from the maker of Bowling for Columbine. Why? The movie is critical of Bush's approach to 9/11, before and after. Don't forget, Bush's brother is gub'ner of Florida, which is one of Disney's home states.

Whether they're nervous about backlash because of whatever message is in there (and that's a personalities thing, government or not, people hit back when they're not happy), or because they feel it would sway votes one way or another (in which case it's probably more 'responsible' to hold off) I dunno. Haven't read enough to say either way.
But movies directly relating to national politics aren't necessarily a good thing during election year... Kinda like that "equal time" thing for tv stations.
Not willing to say 'government censorship' unless someone in the government's seen/heard of it and made threats...
