West's "Bush doesn't care about black people" scrubbed from NBC concert
I watched the concert from last night again at noon. They edited it out! I am still fuming.

3. They issued a statement defending their choice saying they
didn't want to distract from the fundraising effort.

7. CNN showed it repeatedly today: the entire unedited version
preceded by a MSNBC statement RE: They don't agree with Wests' statements.

Which part they didn't say: Blacks loot while Whites find or Bush doesn't care about black people?

5. Hmm...now why would NBC (owned by GE) want to censor that??
GE is still counting on our modern Crusade in the Middle East to help their bottomline. They wouldn't want the Emperor pissed off at them, would they?
