Why was Sally censored?

When Sally Field won her Emmy tonight, she spoke out against the war in Iraq. Unfortunately, Fox cut off her speech. At the end, she said
:"If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any god-damned wars in the first place."
She was cut after "god." Now, one can argue that she swore and the word was censored, but if they were censoring her naughty word, why didn't they simply cut the audio? Why did they totally cut to something that looked like a technical problelm? We CLEARLY saw Katharine Heigel say "SHIT" when her name was announced as a winner. The audio was cut, but you could see what she said. Why didn't they cut to this same shot then? Could it have anything to do with it being FOX? Hmmmm...I don't know. I really don't. I want to think it was because of the word, but I just don't trust Fox at all. You be the judge.
