AT&T omits some lyrics from Pearl Jam "live" webcast

With media consolidation happening everyday, what kind of content will be fed to the consumer? Will we get what we think we are getting? What will dictate what information or performances are accessible? Will we be given information and be allowed to come to our own conclustions, or will the way that we are "supposed" to process the news be told to us? Not all of these questions directly come out of what this post is about, but I think they are all relevant questions in a world of private/corporate media domination.

Over the weekend many people attended the Lollapalooza music festival. For those unable to make it, AT&T sponsered a webcast of some performances. Pearl Jam's performance was included, but not all of their performance was heard.

Read a statement by Pearl Jam about what happened.

AT&T has made a statement on their website about the "omission". I hate to send you to AT&T's site because then they are getting more users on their site, but it is important to read the statement for yourself.
