On last night's Emmy Awards, Rethuglican media outlet Fux managed to bleep Sally Field's anti-war remark, despite no violation of FCC rules. In dedicating her Emmy to the mothers of soldiers in Iraq, Field said, "if mothers ruled the world, there would be no. . " The censored phrase was "god-damned wars in the first place." A 2004 ruling by the FCC states that "god-damned" is not profane for purposes of censoring a broadcast.
Fux's little band of propagandists didn't want anything critical of their Leader's war to creep into the broadcast.
