Saturday Night Live's Censored Song
Here is the song that was removed from the re-airing of a Saturday Night Live show from March. Most likely, NBC's owner, the $80B GE corporation, didn't like the truth being told on its own network. I typed this in from my printed copy of the The Nation.

Schoolroom Rocky's back on the block
With Conspiracy Theory Rock

It's a media-opoly. A media-opoly.
The whole media's controlled by a few corporations.
Thanks to deregulation by the FCC.

You mean Disney, Fox, Westinghouse and good ol' GE?
They own networks from CBS to CNBC.
They can use them to say whatever they please
And put down the opinions of anyone who disagrees.

Or stuff about PCBs.
What are PCBs?
They come from electric power plants built by Westinghouse

and GE.
They can give you lots of cancer
That can hurt your body
But on network TV
You'll rarely hear anything bad about the nuclear industry
Like when Westinghouse was sued for fraud?
Which time?
When GE made defective bolts it was an unreported crime
Or when it was boycotted for operating nuclear bomb plants

just to squeeze a dime...

But the bigshots don't care.
They're all sitting pretty thanks to corporate welfare.
What's that now?
They get billions in subsidies from the government.
It's supposed to create jobs but that's not how it's spent.
They use PACs and soft money to support Congressmen
Who will vote for weapons programs again and again
And let them dump toxic waste where the young ones play.

I hear GE made the bullets that shot JFK.

You contribute to this chain
Every time you buy a product
Sponsored on this show.
That's what NBC doesn't want you to know.

So next time—
["Please stand by" logo appears]
"Please stand by"
"Please stand by"
It means there's technical difficulty
Supposedly
So if you see
A “Please Stand By”
You'll know it's all part of GE's big lie...
