Censorship by the Trib is usually interesting. From the Colonel's time forward, what the editors think needs to be kept out of print provides a commentary on la vie quotidienne. The comics they choose to censor are especially enlighting to a study of our American Culture. Censorship in the age of Translocal news means that you don't let your viewers see something that they can find on the Internet in pretty quick order. Here is what the Trib says today about The Boondocks "Today's original strip was based on an unconfirmed report in a gossip column. Please enjoy this substitute from 2004." The comic is online in a variety of places, like the Washington Post and there is commentary about the Jenna Bush incident dating from April 7th. You can find links to the NYPost story, the lyrics to "Da Butt" and a bio of the group that did the original song.Outside The Beltway : Jenna Bush %u2018Butt Dance%u2019 Video Well, the Trib is certainly espousing a point of view through its action, but I am not sure their explanation is transparent. Are they censoring the comic because the rumor is unsubstantiated or because it suggests something sexual and perhaps licentious or negative about Jenna Bush? We could debate the news ethics of the decision but somehow I think this is the kind of action that makes the 18-34 year olds turn away from MSM. Why not run the 'toon and then a Don Wycliff explanation of how it is just someone's opinion and how the NYPost has run gossip that is unsubstantiated? Anyway, you can tell I'm not a Trib editor. The Wonkette has written about this affair de "Da Butt" in her usual style so check her out for the last word.
