What amazes me about this 'news' is that anyone actually believes executives from ATT were monitoring the concert and either knew in advance when to cut the sound, or were so fast on the ball they cut it in time to do any censoring. Or that any of them particularly like GW anyway.
I see from your use of quote marks that you really do not consider this story to be real news. I do think it was newsworthy and that is why I posted it here. It is actually not new news because this event was not the first time that censors removed lyrics or words that were not obscene from live performances carried on the internet. From what I heard on the radio just this morning, AT&T was involved in at least one prior similar situation and pleaded innocence that time as well. To me, it really doesn't matter exactly who does these things. It is just the fact that it is done that I find troubling as well as newsworthy.
