You may have seen Fox’s coverage of the Sally Field speech, where she made a statement about the war. She won the lead actress award for her role as a mother whose son served in the army in Afghanistan. Toward the end, Fox censored her speech. Watch the video, you’ll see.

Just two points:

One. Why did they censor that way? Why not just bleep it? Or take out the sound? I don’t get it. I don’t think what she said was out of line, that they’d cut out that much.

Two. Despite how panicky she seemed, I actually admire her much for that. I hope that mothers got something from that, anything at all, for whatever it’s worth.
