From CBC.ca:

An Afghan television station has pulled an Indian soap opera from the airwaves on the orders of the government.

Kumkum had already raised the ire of conservative clerics in the country, who had called it "un-Islamic."

"Under pressure from the Ministry of Information and Culture, we had to stop running one of our famous shows, an Indian drama," Abdul Qadir Mirzai, chief news editor for leading private station, Ariana, said Sunday. ...

Kumkum is the first victim of a government edict which had given stations until Tuesday to stop airing several programs it had deemed inappropriate because they undermined Afghan culture.

No one stage-manages propaganda like the Pentagon. This NYT story looks at the very thin veneer of objectivity that covers some military experts often seen appearing on U.S. TV news.
