Libertarian ping! To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here.Here's my concern: the only reason there's any argument over what's indecent and what ain't is that we haven't sold the airwaves yet. To me, the big question isn't whether the seven dirty words are dirty or not, but WTF is the FCC doing holding on to any jurisdiction over this stuff? Why is the federal government holding property like airwaves unnecessarily? These could have been sold YEARS ago and the owners would have been paying into the federal tax coffers instead of Americans.
Sounds like the FCC is as effective as the ICE.
By the time you can turn it off, it's too late. Even the reality shows are letting stuff through that used to be edited out.
Of course, I suppose you can simply choose not to watch any of the network shows or the cable shows and simply watch....
In other news, the networks have asked the FCC to impose greater restrictions on showing images of muhammad.
Sounds like a crock of "S" word to me. Adults can choose what they and their children watch. If it's offensive - turn it off.
I am glad the networks are fighting back. I can't stand the govornment involved in what we watch on the TV. They should shut down the FCC and put that money towards the war on terror or the deficit. While were at it, add the IRS and Department of Education to those that should be shut down. Can you imagine that we have a department that all they do is watch TV and assign fines...what a crock!!!!!
