I just flipped over to CNBC because they're airing the "Concert for Hurricane Relief" and my timing couldn't have been better. I tuned in just as Kanye West and Mike Myers were doing their appeal.

But just at the point where West said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" in the original broadcast (still streaming online at MSNBC.com), the camera cut to the concert logo and the sound turned off. Then two seconds later Chris Tucker came on screen with a couple of lines.

What the hell? This kind of censorship is disgusting. Kanye West was expressing justified outrage and a pretty inarguable observation.

Just goes to show that the mainstream right-wing media hates it when anyone speaks truth to power.
