Notoriously right-wing network, FOX, censors Sally Fields’ acceptance speech at 2:00 into the clip…keep watching, keep watching…Makes you wonder just how ‘progressive’ shows like The Family Guy really are? Women’s voices = Power. Women’s voices as Puppets of the Patriarchy = Pathetic (Joan Rivers, take note!)
FOX is afraid we will learn what we already know…

I believe you’re incorrect in your assessment of FOX’s motives in this case. The bleeped words were supposedly “god damned”. I believe FOX was kowtowing to the Christian groups in regards to blasphemy as opposed to trying to silence oa woman’s opinion.
Now, this is just my opinion and is specifically addressed to this incident. I will not speak to other behaviors of FOX.
Yeah, that’s the official story. But you have to admit it was more than a bleep. There was a cut-away and the rest of her sentence (…’war in the first place’) was entirely bleeped out. I’ve heard my fare share of bleeps and this wasn’t just to cover up the word ‘goddamned’…plus, i wasn’t insinuating that fox is trying to silence a woman’s opinion – they would’ve done the same to Sean Penn if he was up there – I’m just saying that the power of women’s voices in issues of war appears to be too much for mainstream networks. in my opinion.
