A conservative advocacy group plans to file a complaint against the CBS television network for allowing the "f" and "s" words to air multiple times as part of a Sunday evening documentary on the 9/11 terror attacks.
"During the course of the program, CBS affiliates chose to broadcast multiple obscenities over the public airwaves at a time they knew children would be watching," the American Family Association said.

Why was there swearing? Who was doing the swearing? Here's your answer:
Quote:
Depending on what the FCC decides, each station that aired the documentary could be fined $325,000. The very threat of such a fine prompted some CBS affiliates to avoid airing the program on Sunday night.
Defenders of the documentary -- which follows actual firefighters called to Ground Zero on 9/11 -- say that the swearing was done by real people in the heat of the moment and is part of the historical record.

Apparently we're supposed to sugar coat the events of 9/11 now, and have documentaries with dumbed-down versions of the events? Or, maybe it's the firefighter's faults. They shouldn't be using naughty words when hundreds of their fellow firefighters are being killed along with thousands of civilians?
Or maybe such things shouldn't be on TV at all, and every channel should have "The Gospel Hour", every hour!
I'm really beyond the point of being sick of these conservative groups.......
Really.
