Additional Measure Will Allow for Video Editing

CBS announced today plans to enhance its ability to edit out any inappropriate and unexpected events from the Sunday, Feb. 8 broadcast of the "46th Annual Grammy Awards" on CBS.

The enhancement will include the ability to delete both inappropriate audio and video footage from the broadcast. Using a five second delay, CBS has traditionally employed procedures that allow only for the elimination of inappropriate audio. This new enhancement will accomplish both. The precise length of the new delay has yet to be determined.

1. What an obvious kneejerk reaction!

Big Brother is alive and well and running CBS for sure.

4. a kneejerk reaction- but for Janet Jackson, or Michael Moore?

:shrug:

[NuckinFutz]

7. More for the likes of Michael Moore..

Janet's baring just gave them the opportune excuse.

[truthisfreedom]

2. CBS has reaped enormous rewards from this whole Janet thing.

it's a big hairy increase in viewers.

3. Like Michael Moores speech at the Academy Awards? was that inappropriate?

5. Basically anything that doesn't follow a strict neo-con agenda

will be censored and/or cut.

6. I don't care what these 2 young

people do, but I liked the idea of fining them each twice the amount of money they were paid.

The, give the money (should be a good chunk) to Clark.

8. As if anyone needed another reason NOT to watch

the bogus grammy's, CBS has now given them one. What a sorry excuse for a television network. William Paley must be rolling over in his grave....

10. So many people from the Old American Republic spinning in their graves

You could probably hook 'em up to a generator and power half of New Jersey.

Think about it: Every Founding Father and Colonial Army Vet (except John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, both of whom prefered rule by the Perfumed Aristocracy). Abe Lincoln and every Grand Army of the Republic Vet. Teddy Roosevelt. Eisenhower. Barry Goldwater.

Not to mention all the victims of Imperial Ambition from JFK, Jr through Carnahan and Wellstone and also including Bushevik Obstacles John Heinze and John Tower.

All spinning like tops.

9. Holy s.. This gives CBS the ability to alter the past

1984 Redux.

[pacifictiger]

11. they're certainly

scared of real reality tv.

[Democat]

12. More people will watch cable, less network TV

I hope right wing CBS loses a lot of viewers.

[loudnclear]

13. I'm boycotting the Grammy's just for this reason.

We live in the biggest facist nation on earth.

Remember: Bush lied and Saddam told the truth!

[Richardo]

14. Great! How about a delay of about 175 years?

Who needs that self-indulgent crap?

[BlueEyedSon]

15. Should be 2 feeds, one guaranteed G, one unedited.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

16. I will boycott CBS!
