Censoring The Roots
I’m a little late on this story, but apparently NBC now screens the songs The Roots are going to play on Jimmy Fallon. Why?
Because The Roots apparently played “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” as Michelle Bachmann walked onstage.
?uestlove, the leader of The Roots, later apologized. But look closely at this apology:
And I really didn’t think about how it could be perceived as a misogynist swipe— it didn’t hit me until my [Twitter] timeline started showing up that it was seen that way. I was like, “Fuck, I forgot ‘bitch’ is actually in the title.”
He didn’t exactly apologize for the “Lyin’ Ass” part, did he?
