The FCC and the New Puritanism

« Love is Stronger Than Death (Lisa Marie Presley & Angela McCluskey) | Bill Gates Says iPods will Die »

"TV networks faced a record $7.9 million in regulatory fines this year, and the 1st Amendment hits just keep on coming. This past Veteran's Day, 66 ABC affiliates refused to air Saving Private Ryan for fear of public outcries over violence and language. PBS also saw many of its stations pull an episode of Postcards with Buster because it included a child with two "mommies". Perhaps no single incident incited more angry pontification than the 15 November 2004 edition of Monday Night Football."
