White House Correspondence Dinner

I kind of enjoyed watching the White House Correspondence dinner recap. Jimmy Kimmel was a little brutal with some of his comments, and Barrack Obama was pretty funny with his script too. There was a particular thought struck me as I was watching it. They showed a video segment that was making fun of censorship. They took real video clips of the President and other reporters and people in politics speaking, and added the BEEP and blur to their dialog and video. Now we all know that what they said originally was most likely suitable and didn't require any BEEPs or blurs, yet it was interesting to see how they could make you think that what they had said was naughty or inappropriate just by carefully placing these censors.....Good food for thought when we watch the so called "reality tv" programs, or any news that we see that has this type of sensorship. Is it real or engineered to make things appear a certain way?
