The cat is out of the bag and Rupert Murdoch has some explaining to do because TMZ is claiming to have solved the mystery behind the stealth edit of Jason Aldean\u2019s video for the hit song, \u201cTry That in a Small Town\u201d The video and song caused the usual suspects to lose their minds so CMT caved and yanked it from the air. But when a new version of the video surfaced without some of the controversial scenes, people hoped Aldean didn\u2019t cave.<\/p>\n
And he didn\u2019t. Fox News gave him an ultimatum to remove the scenes because the footage he used was theirs. So they kicked Aldean when he was down and made him edit the video.<\/p>\n
According to TMZ:<\/p>\n
Sources connected to the music video production tell TMZ \u2026 back when they were producing the video, the company that produced it reached out to FOX on May 8 and asked for permission to use the 6 seconds of video shot by FOX 5 Atlanta \u2026 showing violence at a BLM rally.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re told the folks at FOX asked for more information \u2026 specifically the lyrics of the song. We\u2019re told the production company sent FOX a link to the song \u2014 which was released May 19 \u2014 but the protocol was to send the lyrics in writing, which they never did.<\/p>\n
Our sources say a week ago, FOX reached out to the production company and asked them to remove the video to avoid any legal action \u2014 which was described to us as a \u201cpolite ultimatum\u201d \u2014 and the production company complied.<\/p>\n
Joe Rogan put the controversy into perspective when talking with author Gad Saad on his podcast.<\/p>\n
To say Rogan humiliated Aldean\u2019s critics is an understatement.<\/p>\n
Rogan said: \u201cThe level of outrage, now I\u2019m not saying that that\u2019s the greatest song in the world\u2019s ever known, you know, but the level of outrage coming from people that are upset about that song is so strange when there are hundreds of rap songs out there that are infinitely worse and also enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMisogynistic \u2014 violence. The whole thing,\u201d Saad said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo complaints at all,\u201d Rogan said.<\/p>\n
Rogan continued:\u00a0 \u201cAnd we\u2019re not even talking about old stuff. There\u2019s new stuff too.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s hip hop, there\u2019s wild rock songs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd to be focusing on that one, and it\u2019s the racial aspect of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was crazy because like the real ANTIFA problems that were happening during the BLM, I think it was a lot of white people doing that, right?<\/p>\n
\u201cWasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a lot of like, lost liberal whites who were very angry, who decided to take up this movement and smash things.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo like, the racial aspect of it, there\u2019s nothing racial about the lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
