Times slams NBC's censoring of West:-
The Los Angeles Times Sunday criticized NBC for censoring rapper Kanye
West's criticism of President Bush during A Concert for Hurricane
Relief.
NBC cut the Grammy Award-winning rapper's remark: George Bush doesn't
care about black people, from the West Coast tape of its Friday night
telethon leaving the viewers with nothing more than a sterile,
self-serving corporate broadcast, the Times said.
The network issued a statement defending its action, saying: It would
be most unfortunate if the efforts of the artists who participated
tonight and the generosity of millions of Americans who are helping
those in need are overshadowed by one person's opinion.
West's most scathing criticism -- a charge the government had given
the National Guard permission to to down and shoot us -- was left in
the taped broadcast, the Times noted.
