NBC Censorship

Apparently NBC doesn't even have the edited portions available to watch now on it's website. As Americans, we pride ourselves as having boundless freedom of speech and communications and we also probably feel we are at the top of the list o f all countries in freedom of expression. But, if we tolerate this censorship of a worldwide event and are unable to view it in its entirety, aren't we victims of censorship? How is NBC's editing and unwillingness to offer (even to download, after the fact) any different than repressive regimes? It seems to me that not only are our politics being twisted and force fed and now sports and entertainment are also censored. Am I wrong here? I think it's pathetic that in a country such as ours (in which we pride ourselves on freedom of speech and communication) that we need to search the internet for clips of performances censored by NBC. How is this any different than those repressed by the government of North Korea? Granted, we're not in any physical jeopardy. But, to think an event of such worldwide significance is truncated to make room for a sitcom should enrage many more than it seems to be. We've gotten way too passive regarding our rights to not be force-fed censored information whether it be politics, sports, or entertainment. I don't like the feeling of being at the mercy of NBC.
