ESPN Denies Efforts to "Hide" Audience Boos At Former President Bush

What? Are people deciding that Poppy Bush might be somewhat responsible for the petulant, won't-play-fair chip off the block in the White House?

I never watch ESPN so I can't tell you what happened.

Yet it would not surprise me if ESPN did edit out the boos toward Poppy Bush at a football game. When Chavez called George W. Bush the devil on the floor of the U.N. General Assembly, I noticed that many networks and news feeds managed to edit out the laughs that followed. It was three days or so before I heard the rather loud laughing.
