War protest? Sheesh, couldn’t GET it off my television (that’s to say, if I turned the thing on I bet there was so much coverage by the liberal media I couldn’t avoid it…)

…I’m getting a headache… Everybody tune in to that wall-to-wall coverage of the protest march in Washington over the weekend? That’s ok, I couldn’t find it on any of my 5 million channels either. Thank heavens the ‘Flying Nun’ was muzzled as well; I almost thought our country was involved in some kind of unpopular military skirmish somewhere. Sheesh.

Here’s my big question; how is it that the same people who have cornered the market on tough talk actually turn out to be wimps? Why do people keep buying this.

The FCC’s ruling last year that profanity could mean heavy fines – much heavier than those levied against a corporation whose negligence results in an employee’s death, I should add, the former being on average $6000 and the later up to $250K for each separate incidence – provides pretty heavy cover if an unFox-friendly (translation: unBush/Republican-friendly) speaker happens to mix a “damn” or “hell” into a political statement. They can always put the blame on the FCC’s unpredictability and lack of consistency in deciding what is or is not acceptable.

Of course, the FCC has been pretty consistent, not in its word-monitoring but in its choices of who to fine. NPR has been under the gun virtually since the rule’s inception while cable networks have, in general, been ignored.

The Emmy Committee ought to ban Fox from ever again getting the awards show or we’re liable to see a lot more political censorship masquerading as profanity/values control.
