“Beeping” out the US presidents speech? What the fuck?
For context, I'm from Europe (Berlin, Germany).
It really bends my mind when speeches of the president are cleaned up in TV.
I understand the bleeping is defined for TV specifically, even if used elsewhere.
So, ok, reporting the presidents speech verbatim would breach a contract, right?
What the fuck?
Don't tell me the cable TV stations "beep" the president because they are afraid to be sued by the president when they did not? Sorry, this paragraph is pure sarcasm. But I'm actually not absolutely sure that is not realistic.
I follow US news closely, and can accept a lot to be true. But this confuses me.
Note this is actually not a rant - it literally confuses me.
