Connecting the dots on Stern, FCC crackdown and now "60 Minutes" !!!

Edited on Mon Apr-19-04 08:41 PM by wndycty
Friends I need your help but I think we have finally made a connection to the problems Stern is having with the FCC, a political agenda and now the what appears to be an FCC complaint regard last night's "60 Minutes" the very same "60 Minutes" that exposed some of the fraud of the Bush administration. Now I need your help verifying the identity of John Thompson and to see if this is the same guy that is connected to Randall Terry. Now on to the evidence:

From today's Broadcasting & Cable:http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA411543?display=Breaking+News&promocode=SUPP

Attorney John Thompson, whose complaints about Howard Stern helped prompt Clear Channel to banish the jock and the FCC to fine the company almost half a million dollars, says he has faxed a complaint to the FCC about Sunday night's 60 Minutes broadcast, in which singer Mary J. Blige uttered an under-her-breath "shit."

According to Thomson, he sent the complaint yesterday to FCC Chairman Michael Powell and his senior legal adviser. He did not contact CBS or 60 Minutes and neither had any comment. One CBS spokesperson confirmed the word had aired, though another expressed some doubt.

Re: Execution of Terri Schiavo is "Cruel and Unusual Punishment"

Dear Governor Bush:

I have been asked by Randall Terry and by the parents of Terri Schiavo to do what I can to save her life. You asked yesterday for assistance toward that end. Well, here it is.

Governor, you have the power, by the mere stroke of a pen, to prohibit what is, in every sense, the execution of Terri Schiavo by a means that is both cruel and unusual in violation of Article I, Section 17 of the Florida Constitution and the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

So one must wonder if Mr. Thompson was upset about Mary J. Blige's slip, or is he upset about the Woodward interview?
