Corporate censoring or a mere accident?

Some of you may have already heard about the fight between Pearl Jam and AT&T. In case you haven't, it is publicly known that AT&T edited out a few lyrics from one of PJ's performances at Lollapalooza. Of course, they are claiming it was accidental. During their song Daughter, which PJ often extends into other songs, this time Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall, the AT&T broadcast cut out the lyrics "George Bush, leave this world alone. George Bush find yourself another home." Funny that the two lyrics accidentally edited out are politically-based. Coincidence? I find that hard to believe and am very disturbed by such incidents of censorship and infringements on an artist's right to free speech. Given, there is no such thing as complete free speech, as I often taught my students, but for a musician, particularly one as politically outspoken as Pearl Jam is, to be "edited" in such a way is inexcusable and treading on sketchy territory for if such acts of censoring are allowed one must ask where is the line drawn. The link below is to PJ's website and their statement about the issue. I think they say it best here: "This, of course, troubles us as artists but also as citizens concerned with the issue of censorship and the increasingly consolidated control of the media." Many of you know my views on the media and their unbelievable powers. The media has more control over what we think and do than even our own government and knowing what the media presents to us, I fear for what our future holds. I could go on and on, but I'll spare you the rant...for now.
