[Astrad]

As Fox, CBS and NBC are locked in a legal battle with the Federal Communications Commission over harsh new indecency rules, Fox's entertainment president has accused the agency of creating "a chilling effect on creativity."

This is rich, they do everything possible to keep them in power than complain when it causes them pain.

1. What's the FCC say about Bush's uttering an explative the other day?

[Deja Q]

2. How ironic! FOX - the same network that brought you crap like

Fuck it. Anything that has a disclaimer before the program starts.

FOX will be hurt by this indecency act. THAT is why they are whining.

Before then, while showing the same discretionary filth, they were whining about the state of media. Hey Bill O'Reilly, look at your boss Rupert Murdoch when it comes to slutty and bloody TV. He might know more about it than you believe.

Well most people are motivated by self interest, in spite of what they might claim.

3. To paraphrase the puppet master...

maybe Faux's News President should "go fuck himself".

4. Local radio stations are bleeping "Picture" (Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow)

"fueling up on cocaine and whiskey" has become "fueling up on ***bleep*** and whiskey"


How ridiculous is that?

5. As insane as deleting "Roll another joint"

from a Tom Petty song. I have heard that line deleted. But as Neil Young said many years ago, "Think I'll Roll another number for the road".

6. At least now they have the appearance of being....

separate from the White House.

8. How is that?

It sounds like the same hypocrisy to me.

9. poetic justice, after all if they get fined

they helped sell the band of treasonous bastards in office, now they whine when it's their ass in a crack

10. i guess bush is now cutting into fox's profits

[Renew Deal]

11. Maybe they'll actually fight the bastards.

Howard Stern talks about this all the time. No one challenged the FCC, so they just do whatever they want.
