6. Naaah....the hope is, you'll tune in and forget to change the channel.
They'll rerun that thing, for sure. Controversy is controversy. Ratings are ratings. They didn't censor Jon Stewart when he took them to task, either.

It never hurts their bottom line. Makes them "appear" "fair and balanced" donchaknow.

2. If they censored it, it would make it worse. Of course they'll let it air.
It's RATINGS.

The Corporate Media can counterbalance that little piece at their leisure.

Bad Medicine Complaints? They can be washed away with acres and acres of Sanjay Gupta telling us about swell new drugs, or wonderful unneeded therapies....and Big Medicine gets rich.

They can counterbalance any antiwar assertions with piles and piles of footage of "success stories" and Generals in Airconditioned Spaces telling us how swell the war is going.

You've got maybe a minute of commercials before he comes on....

You'll be able to read the transcript at the above link, eventually. And maybe someone will put it up on YOUTUBE...maybe CNN will post it themselves, too on their own page.
