I am steaming mad! I was watching the Today show this morning. Matt and Meredith interviewed Obama, Hillary, McCain..........oops, what happened? As soon as John McCain said when somebody like.....................and there was nothing but dead air until Matt said Thanks for your time.........and the interview was over. I want to know if anyone else saw this and is angry about it as well. It does not matter if you are Democrat or Republican, Independent or undecided. What gives NBC the right to censor what I hear?

There are many arguments for democracy and a free society.

its contradictory to live in a free society and a democratic one.

All I know is that I can own a weapon and protect myself here, walk down the streets freely, choose and exercise freedom of religion without fear of retaliation, choose what health care I want and choose when and where to use it. I do not want to live in a place that protects one group of people over others. I do not want to live in a place or society that allows the rich to health care and others down the financial line have to wait months to receive even the basic care. I am happy to be here and would not want to live any other way. If things change, I may just buy an island somewhere in the middle of no where and become a recluse.

Well, I tried to do several searches on this and couldn't find a thing. Maybe you would have better luck. I would also like to know what he said that would need to be censored. As I didn't hear what was said on the show, I can't even begin to imagine what it would be. As a seasoned politician, I can't believe he would say anything on national tv that would be need to be censored? I'll be checking in for developments on here..Whit

I'm sitting with my back to the tv but listening to it and I thought I went deaf for a minute! Especially today when anything these people say counts so much I can't believe that any station would censor anything they say. I don't think they have that right. I hope John McCain and his "people" say something about this and NBC apologizes for it.

I am going to call the Republican Headquarters in my area to see if they are aware of it. I am sure they have to be. I am glad I am not alone! I don't like watching Fox and Friends in the morning because of that Steve guy gets on my nerves so much, but may just have to stop watching NBC all together!

They can because they can. Their reason will be because "they ran out of time" and who can agrue (or sue) over that. Or they'll say mechanical malfunction...again, who can argue (or sue) over that? In my opinion, Media is Pro Democrate. WOrd is Demos are liberal and Repbs are conservative, and you can most certainly get more "news" and kick up the hype and creat a ruckus with libreal actions, that they could with conservative actions. I have seen it so much since the first Bush for PRes campaign. Was it Bush/Kerry or Bush/Edwards? Can't remmber, they keep running every election, hard to keep up with which election for which year!
