Fox Attacks Sally Field [VIDEO]
This post, written by Jim Gilliam, originally appeared on Fox Attacks
FOX censored Sally Field's anti-war comments during her acceptance speech at the Emmys.
Some people want to claim it's because she said "god damn", but clearly FOX has no qualms airing "god damn" cause on a recent FOX News program they aired it 5 times in the span of a couple of minutes.
Oh, and the FCC ruled that "goddamn" is perfectly acceptable on broadcast television.
FOX just didn't want you to hear what Sally said, and the majority of Americans already know, that "if mothers ruled the world there'd be no goddamn wars in the first place."
A big thanks to ChrisBG at the Newshounds for remembering this "god damn" segment on FOX News and then actually finding it!
