FCC Fights To Maintain Indecency Policy

Posted by Soulskill on from the sweet-zombie-carlin dept.

GovTechGuy writes "The FCC filed Thursday to appeal a recent court decision that struck down its policy of fining broadcasters for profanity or nudity shown on live television. The FCC's brief argues the court ruling would make it almost impossible to punish broadcasters that show nudity or profanity during hours when children are likely to be watching or listening."

    Yeah, but without the FCC, I might have to actually pay attention to what my kids are watching myself. Can't the FCC just screen the babysitter for me, while I take a nap?

    If Gibson is a cock, then Cruise would be more like a penile sheath; Gibson can be crazy on his own, but Cruise seems to need a supporting crew of loonies.
