"There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to Fox and to MSNBC, "Out. Off. End." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Eq3hOQF9o Welcome to Rockefeller Center & Re-Education Camp. Hey Rocky, the FCC doesn't license cable TV.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/posttech/2010/07/court_strikes_down_fcc_indecen.html The moral degredation of America continues. ;)

The FCC was asked "why is it so important for everybody' s TV to go digital". They said "so everybody can prettier picture with new features". When asked "is that it?" they said "No, you get more features and ,uh, uh... oh yeah like I said the picture is so much prettier and much more clear "...

If I read this correctly, the FCC's beef is not with delaying the transmission of large files, but with blocking them entirely. I haven't read much on this, but am interested in knowing more. It seems to me the FCC is telling ISPs that they must, if necessary, degrade the performance for all of...

I get alerts from the American Family Association, and they told me to call my senator to support this bill. I personally see it as an offense to Free Speech/Press. S. 1780: Protecting Children from Indecent Programming Act http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-1780 Isn't it...

I would like to stimulate some discussion of radio and television broadcast licenses. As you may know there are now pretty much unprecedented concentrations of the available broadcast licenses into a very few corporate entities. Entities what's more that have come to regard these licenses as...

Chicago tribune editorial F*** yeah! If it is good enough for the president and vice-president, then it is good enough for Cher and Nicole Richie.

:jaw-dropp That is just one of the complaints received by the FCC after this year's Super Bowl, and the half-time show with Prince. And it goes on with phallic guitars, possibly-gay quarterbacks, and teenage girls scarred forever. FOREVER, I tells ya! Sheesh! When will Americans grow up...

http://www.mediaweek.com/mediaweek/headlines/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000731656 Quite a rise in complaints over tha last few years. In a complaint over Fox's "Married By America", FCC acknowledges 90 complaints, by 23 individuals. And “All but four of the complaints were...

ABC affiliates pulling 'Private Ryan' Cripes. Even Australia isn't afraid of showing this one uncensored. I mean, war is heck, right?

Foul-mouthed radio personality Howard Stern has another Powell to reckon with: Secretary of State Colin Powell. The nation's top diplomat came to the defense of his son, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell, after Stern said the younger Powell only got the job because of his...

Did anyone watch the football game last night. during 1/2 time they had an interview with FCC chair Mike Powell (Colin's son). Did I say interview, cause it was more like inappropriate paid advertising for High Def TV. It was rather odd. They talked about how great HDTV is an how everyone...

AH yes the FCC picking on their favorite anti-Bush whipping boy, CBS/Infinity.(Howard Sterns bosses) If the boob was so terrible why only fine the CBS OWNED affiliates? Why not all the stations that showed the 1/2 time bit?? CBS is going to fight the fines, GOOD FOR THEM!! Im tired ofthe...

Last night I ended up spending two hours debating a friend over the the concept of decency and of the goverment's ability and right to regulate speech. I can explain my point easily, but it's difficult for me to defend my friend's point of view since (to me) it was contradictory and illogical...

Heres how the conspiracy works. The FCC is only targeting Viacom stations and NOT the affiliates who also showed the boob, and NOT Mtv who produced the 12 time. This is happening just days after the FCC's fav target, Howard Stern, came out that hes going to back in those markets (as well...

Okay, as a former broadcaster, and current full time adult, I would like to take a moment of everyone's time for this brief rant. I realize there has been a great deal of complaint of late regarding the content of television programming. Certainly, we've seen it degraded over the past few...
