Supreme Court To Rule On TV Censorship

Khashishi writes "The LA times and the Associated Press report that the FCC v. Fox Television Stations case is being heard in the Supreme Court. The FCC policy would impose a heavy fine on use of 'indecent' words on broadcast television, which Fox and others are claiming is a violation of free speech. The case was appealed after being ruled in Fox's favor in a federal appeals court in New York. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Antonin Scalia support the FCC policy of censorship." Here's a transcript (PDF) of the oral arguments.

There is no liberal media*. Show me some evidence.

It is called liberal media by people who don't like anyone the talks about or reports on views that are different from theirs.

*we're talking about large broadcasters here.
