Journalism should never be censored-the job is to bring the truth to the masses. Not the exact thing but a Canadian MMA writer named Ariel Helwani who I've followed for a long time was recently banned by the UFC for speaking his mind and reporting a big news piece of the return of Brock Lesnar before the company could announce it. Instead of riding the hype from fans hearing that news and awaiting the announcement they banned him and his colleagues mid UFC PPV. Thankfully 48 hours later, fellow media members and the masses pressured the UFC to drop the ban and it has, despite FOX SPORTS who hold their TV rights having fired him prior to the ban for speaking out about the company in a journalistic fashion and reporting about news about other competing companies like Bellator. One of the best podcasts on the story is at http://fightnetwork.com/news/6560774:the-mma-report-3-days-19-hours-and-2-minutes-in-mma/

As for not knowing what the EU is, just wait to November when Americans need to Google things after voting for whatever controversial choice they pick. Take care!
