AT&T Censored Anti-Bush Lyrics in Pearl Jam Show

GigaOm tells the tale - AT&T’s admittedly overzealous censor removed anti-Bush lyrics. Overzealous?? How about criminal? What sort of half-wit would think that criticizing Bush was worthy of censorship? I hate to think like the tinfoil hat crew, but I have trouble imagining anyone censoring that without explicit instructions to do. We already know that AT&T is willing to do pretty much anything to curry favour with powerful political organizations (see: AT&T scanning your internet connection for copyrighted material).

For crying out loud. Americans, this is your country, and your losing it.
