MTV get off the air

Bunch of cowards look like they're gonna buckle under the pressure to keep Eminem's pro-voting, anti-Bush video under wraps. The arguments are coming out--what's the problem here? Is it just the anti-Bush message? The fear that music could create a bridge to helping young people into politics yet again? The worry that this might inspire more people who think their vote doesn't count to just try anyway?

Anyway, no matter. Ezra at Pandagon has the right idea--go request the video at TRL. It will be hard for them to ignore it if enough people ask for it.

Edited to add: Looks like MTV is going to play it. Good. Still doesn't change the fact that voting for it at TRL is a good idea, though.
