Not content with all the profanity already on TV, CBS has decided to air the profanity-laden unedited version of "9/11" on Sept. 10. The decision by CBS is a slap in the face to the FCC and Congress, which recently raised indecency fines to $325,000 per incident.
"9/11," which will be shown in prime-time, contains a tremendous amount of hardcore profanity. CBS has stated they have not, and will not, make any cuts in the amount and degree of profanity. CBS will ignore the law. The network is suing the FCC over the indecency law, saying they should be able to show whatever they desire whenever they desire. CBS wants no limits.
This is a test case for CBS to see how far they can go. If there is no out-pouring of complaints from the public, they will go further the next time.

Moonbats on parade. Right up there with those who believe the moon landing was staged, the hubble telescope is really a "star wars" type weapon, the Gov bombed the Pentagon and Bush ordered the levies in NO blown up so that only black sections of town would flood.
They're nuts, but what's scary is when so called mainstream journalists give their conspiracy theories the time of day.

That's only because space alien communication implants in their skulls have clouded their thinking.
OK, that's enough! You're being a very bad influence on me and making me be silly on a thread about a very serious documentary (and the silly action by the AFA.)
Back to the Katherine Harris threads with you!
"...contains a tremendous amount of hardcore profanity..."
That description would apply to OBSCENITY or INDECENCY.
Mere profanity is PROFANITY.
Profanity is traditionally prohibited in the hours of 6am-10pm. Safe harbor is the time from 10pm-6am.
Profanity is bad language.
Indecency is sexual innuendo (and doesn't even require bad words, it is the nature of the discussion).
Obscenity is detailed/graphic descriptions of sexual and excretory acts.
If something were "hardcore profanity" it would crossover into the realm of obscenity.
Words mean things.
The documentary first aired in 2002. I have it on tape from that first airing, and it DEFINITELY had the rough language. That is clear from the video link I posted earlier.
We plan on watching "The Path to 9/11" mini-doc on another channel.
My husband and I saw the doumentary we're talking about in 2002. Powerful stuff. He's a little too young for that yet, I agree.
The french documentary is very powerful, but definitely not for kids.
Personally I think we would be better served to have all the gratuitous profanity deleted from the "entertainment" shows, but don't see a lot of complaining about that.
You got that right. I guess it shows you how good we have it here in this country. Way too many freaks with way too much free time on their hands.
Is this the same group that complained about Schindler's List be aired uneditted on NBC a few years ago?
Just let me say that there was a point in time when I liked conspiracy theorists. They seemed to have an optimistic view of the world -- ya know, six guys conspire to screw everything up. Once we get rid of those six guys, then the world will be great. I didn't believe their nonsense of course, but they seemed to be hopeful.
Then I met an actual conspiracy theorist. And let me tell you, what an annoying outlook on life. The guy was really, really annoying. And all that broken logic and half-baked ideas didn't help any, either.
Plain talk?
You can never prove a negative.
I don't know about "Schindler's List," but the AFA definitely filed a complaint over the broadcast of "Saving Private Ryan."
It's YOUR job to raise your kids, not anyone else's, Hillary. And in the real world, when something as serious as what happened on 9/11 goes down, people let slip with the cuss words.
If thinking made a sound, his thoughts would be like fingernails on a blackboard. Horrible experience.
Some folks just have far too much time on their hands.
This is their story.
It is also the story of how New York City's bravest rose to their greatest challenge.
