Here we go again.
Producers of Sunday's Emmy telecast bleeped best drama actress winner Sally Field in the midst of a controversial acceptance speech attacking U.S. involvement in Iraq.
"If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any god -" she said when the sound went dead and the camera suddenly turned away from the stage so viewers would be distracted. Chopped off were the words "god-damned wars in the first place." (The phrase was not censored in the Canadian telecast.)
Seems to be a trend lately, and it worries me that this isn't getting more attention.
Sally Field is the latest victim of spineless media censorship over anti-war comments. Even the FCC disagrees.
Recently, AT+T took it upon themselves to censor some of Eddie Vedders anti-Bush comments during Pearl Jam's Lollapalooza performance of "Daughter". And that's not even the first time.
