LA Times slams NBC`s censoring of Kanye West

************

LOS ANGELES, CA, United States (UPI) -- The Los Angeles Times Sunday criticized NBC for censoring rapper Kanye West`s criticism of President Bush during 'A Concert for Hurricane Relief.'

NBC cut the Grammy Award-winning rapper`s remark: 'George Bush doesn`t care about black people,' from the West Coast tape of its Friday night telethon leaving the viewers with nothing more than 'a sterile, self-serving corporate broadcast,' the Times said.

The network issued a statement defending its action, saying: 'It would be most unfortunate if the efforts of the artists who participated tonight and the generosity of millions of Americans who are helping those in need are overshadowed by one person`s opinion.'

West`s most scathing criticism -- a charge the government had given the National Guard permission to 'to down and shoot us' -- was left in the taped broadcast, the Times noted.

West is known for creating music based on socially conscious themes, the Times noted.
