Failure to have access to information about something means that people will not think, talk about or be concerned about it.
Or to some extent, they will think about that issue less than normal.
We can see the opposite with news services promoting things about drugs, crime epidemics and so on, that don't exist, making people see things that are not there. A good example is Excstacy, which is a fairly safe drug, with almost no fatalities. Yet, if one person dies then the news can beat this issue up and parents are scared about exstacy. Alternatively we don't hear about alchohol related deaths so people feel less concerned about the alchohol, despite its highly negative impact

No censorship causes blindness to the truth because it limits the invalibility of information and results in only one veiw point.

Blindness in a sense...yes.
As things become censored...on tv, magazines, society, etc...we become oblivious (blind) as to what is happening in our world.
On the other hand, some things need censored. We need to find a happy medium between censoring and un-censoring. For example...on the news we should be told about the War in Iraq (which we are told about) BUT we don't need to see the dead bodies of those killed there (which we see on the news as well. I hope that example makes sense...it does in my mind.

Sadly the "moral(?) majority" in this nation is duped and hamstrung by their adopted DOGMA and continuing forms of indoctrination. They think oppositionally rather than reflexively and in terms of "complementary forces:" American thinking is awash with so many false dichotomies, that the tendency is to "over-simplify the truly complex, and likewise, to MUDDLE that which, normally, would be easily corrected or addressed! The advances in the cognitive sciences could act preventatively in all this, but our schools don't teach it... it SHOULD be part of every graduating senior's repertoire and working intellect. We are pretty much derelict when it comes to the policing of our own minds. That is why so many can be so wrong and not have a clue... or WANT one: There is a lot of "the ostrich effect" going on in this country, and people would just as soon bury their heads in the sand while insuring their "comfort zones" are not breached or their "creature comforts" not 'lessened'...even marginally! It is never hard to "stick to your guns" when you're certain that you're right.... but sometimes the mass hysteria or blindness is, at least for the time being, out of your control... it is in these instances that you learn to bow to absurdity and give your own sanity a break by not letting it get to you... all you can do is witness or testify to the 'truth' as you see it and hope that others eventually "see the light." But in life, don't expect that justice will always triumph, 'cause it won't... and don't expect vindication... because there is usually as much chance of it not happening as the chances that it will (toss a coin)! Most importantly for yourself, you simply need to "keep the faith."

No, but it causes narrow vision by limiting your views.
