NBC Deletes Criticism of Bush
No profanity deleted by censors, just political opinions.
NBC Deletes Rap Star's Remarks on Telethon - Los Angeles Times:
Kanye West's impromptu attack on President Bush during a live telecast Friday prompted NBC to delete his remark in its West Coast broadcast of the benefit for hurricane victims.
'George Bush doesn't care about black people,' West said.
The rap star also criticized coverage of the catastrophe. 'I hate the way they portray us in the media,' West said. 'If you see a black family, it says they're looting. See a white family, it says they're looking for food.'
West's remarks aired unedited in NBC's East Coast and Midwestern markets, and also on the simulcast versions for MSNBC, CNBC and Pax. However, the network turned off his microphone and switched to another performer shortly after he mentioned Bush.
