FCC Wants Supreme Court to Decide indecency

[softmachine]

No matter how many complaints are filed the FCC is doing very little to curb any of the garbage on tv and radio these days. So there's the once in a while case where they do something, big deal. Everyday the standards fall lower and lower and we will be like Europe before too long.

People keep complaining about how some people want broadcast filth limited, but these same people are too dense to see that the filth spreads every single year.

What do you mean 'we will be like Europe'?

You mean we'll have national health care and (gasp) people interested in (gasp) higher culture on a wider basis? Oh no!

It seems to be the strange inclination of some-perhaps-virulent religious strains of people who link 'vulgarity and nudity' to the 'downfall of society'. That is very curious. Personally, I would watch out for the political scumbags who toss around christianity to con their base-of any stripe.

I don't think anyone is demanding that 'filth' be banished from the airwaves-just a few nattering knee-jerks with little else better to do except fill out Wildmon's post cards.

Porn sales are in the billions because people like that type of entertainment.

That's the problem: you can't give some people an inch because they're too greedy to stop there and will always want more. Even if they have to play the victim card to get it.

"Oh, poor us! We can't hear people cuss on the radio whenever we feel like it and that's not fair!"

Just stop whining and open your eyes and you'll see that vulgar language has infest most primetime shows, nudity or near nudity is pushed everywhere, limits of human decency in song and talk fall lower every year. Look at each year for the last 15 and try to tell me that every year hasn't produced a looser idea of decency, and that fewer and fewer topics are considered taboo.

You'd have to blind or stupid or something to miss that.

I don't think anyone is really demanding anything in regards to hearing the seven dirty on free radio and TV.
They are, however, seeking out other avenues for the programming that will titillate in one way or another.

Most primetime shows are crap-sitcoms in particular-not because of vulgarity, but because of intelligence-insulting content. Just bad writing.

If you have a problem with the content on any media device, turn it off.
