  • An appeals court has struck down the FCC ban on "fleeting curses" in live broadcasts. Is this a win for freedom of speech or vulgarity?

      I wonder if/how this will impact the current free speech arguments that are being made in defense of student posted work? Are we becoming more liberal?
  • Parents shouldn't be relying on the FCC, anyway: As the ruling demonstrated, it's futile for the FCC to try and enforce subjective standards of decency, says the Los Angeles Times in an editorial. "Besides, the FCC can't shield children from inappropriate programs — it has no authority over cable TV channels, and it can't stop kids from using DVRs or the Internet to watch late-night programming in the middle of the day." Luckily, parents now have better tools for blocking programs. The FCC should focus on promoting those methods.

    I think that if parent knew and policed more what their kids were watching and /or spent more time with them than TV would not be a reason for kids to be cussing. We all watched some bad things when we were young, but we didn't dare cuss in front of our parents for fear of being slapped! This debate to me is more about bad parenting than bad TV. It is always easy to blame your bad parenting on TB. I enjoy using the F-Bomb just as much, if not more than the next guy (I am a New Yorker), but I certainly do NOT dream of cussing in front of kids.
