Leave it to the most respected news source to get it wrong.  While CNN reported that MTV had banned the video, a spokesperson for the network confirmed that it wasn't true.  "MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyonce's 'Telephone' video - in fact, we premiered it on Friday, March 12, on-air and online at MTV.com, two days before this story was falsely reported," said Amy Doyle, MTV Executive Vice President of Music and Talent . "Fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online."

CNN reporters Fredricka Whitfield and Jacqui Jeras have allegedly falsely reported that the video had been banned by the network. The story was such buzz that it hit the Internet and other major news outlets causing a media frenzy.  "It's so strong, so suggestive, so sexual, so violent as well, that MTV has said, 'We're not even going to air this, so it has banned the airing of this video,' " Whitfield said during a clip of a report available for viewing online, but no longer at CNN's Website. At press time, a spokesperson for CNN had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment.

If you haven't caught the "Telephone" video on MTV, music videos are relegated to the very late hours on the network during "AMTV." To show its lack of focus on airing music videos on the former music network, the channel dropped "Music Television" from its logo earlier this year.

The video is currently available for streaming, however, on MTV's Website.
