thinkprogress.org — At tonight?s Emmy Awards show, the audience cheered Sally Field?s acceptance speech, which the recognized mothers of U.S. troops. Field then continued, ?If mothers ruled the world, there would be no ?? But the Fox cut off her sound and pointed the camera away from the stage, silencing the rest of her sentence: ?god-damned wars in the first place."

This, like so many other things, is taken out of context. I watched the entire Emmy show and 4 people were censored; each for swearing. Each celeb was censored the EXACT same way, cut to shot of globe and kill mike audio. Ray Ramano was censored even longer and he wasn't talking about the war at all. People get a grip, it wasn't Fox taking away someone's freedom of speech to help the president, if she would have left the "god-damned" off of it she would not have been censored, plain and simple.
