Censorship in the media of the United States can hide the complete truth from its people in order to benefit the leaders and cooperate companies, despite what negative effects it may have on the public. The antifascist, foreign correspondent George Seldes spoke out against censors in his works, among them, You Can't Print That!. He tried to explain to the public how advertisements and the government limit what they can know for their own benefit. Censorship of the press hides the whole truth from readers. It only reveals what the censors want the citizens to see. The government hides truths from the public because these truths might make the people question their support for their country, or worse, their support at election time.
