Sally Field is complaining because the network that broadcast the Emmys (not the government) pulled the plug on her anti-war rant during her acceptance speech. Field calls it censorship. I call it a wise decision about an event that is supposed to be about entertainment.
Barry Manilow, meanwhile, is boycotting “The View” because he (a homosexual) refuses to be interviewed by Elisabeth Hasselbeck (a Christian), calling her “dangerous to America.”
I wonder what Field would call that?
