  25. The FCC Must Be Abolished on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The FCC is a failed entity. They had one simple task -- keep broadcasters from "stealing" or "leaking" onto bandwidths that they were not assigned to use. They failed so miserably new technologies were invented to do their job. They were about to go away when Nixon gave them the power of the Seven Dirty Words.

    Where does the money from fines go?

    Who needs them to regulate anything?

    I have 2-13 piped into my house through cable and or satellite therefore I pay for those stations, how dare they regulate what I pay for!

    The FCC must be abolished.
