Spartacus,

It doesn't matter what you say to the media because they will twist it around to suit them. Artists have to spend thousands to sue the people that misquote them and often the only recompense is a small retraction somewhere at the bottom of the page where no one can read it. Who knows what the Dixie Chicks really said? I guess those who were at the concert could tell us. I don't think it was televised. And yes it is important that they exercise the right to say what they think, whether it offends some or not.

As for some things left unsaid because it suits the agenda of someone's politics...well....this is the ploy of a dictatorship.
