OKC Fox affiliate "accidentally" cuts human evolution from Cosmos

[meegbear]

Here's a transcript of what was cut from the feed in OKC:

"Three and a half million years ago our ancestors, yours and mine, left these traces. We stood up, and parted ways from them. Once we stood on two feet, our eyes were no longer fixated on the ground. Now we were free to look up, and wonder."

Hmmmmmm ....

1. Hey no wonderin allowed!

Next yer be gettin into that fancy book lernin...The Bible is the only book ya ever need!

[jsr]

2. Minor technical difficulty

[okaawhatever]

3. Do people remember when 60 Minutes went "down" during the twenty minutes segment of

the Siegelman story? Don Sigeleman was the Democratic Governor of Alabama who was charged (three separate times, couldn't get it to stick) with a campaign violation? Well if you lived in Alabama your feed for that 60 Minutes episode went "out". It mysteriously came back on when the segment was over.

This is more of the same. We need a law that says they can't pull this bullcrap.

4. Their god made them afraid to wonder. Very sad. And an a**hole for a god too.

5. They feared Neil might display an evolution chart.

And millions of Oklahomans would collectively ask: "Who is that in front of me?"

8. God works in mysterious ways

especially at local Fox stations.

9. I knew it! It's a Sinclair station.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOKH-TV

KOKH-TV, virtual channel 25 (UHF digital channel 24), is a Fox-affiliated television station located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. The station is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, as part of a duopoly with CW affiliate KOCB (channel 34).

Many, many of right-wing Sinclair's stations are Fox affiliates (quelle surprise! ). I wonder if the same thing happened anywhere else.

11. Yeah, that was my first guess too

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

10. Oh! and I was being told that it being on Fox was no remarkable because...

...the Simpsons are on Fox.

13. I'm sure everyone's seen this, but it's too appropriate to not be in the thread.
