There's more to this than just obscenity and Orwell's "1984" it's about responsibility on all sides of the broadcasting arena.
Last year LA's KFI am 640 spearheaded getting rid of Gov. Davis. The John & Ken Show in particular. That sent shockwaves throughout the world because as stupidly as John and Ken did it, they did it. They listened to the complaints of the people and without cussing, ripped Davis a new one.
They can't get shut down cause they're not breaking the law or being obscene but it shows the power of communication and how it can backfire on the powers that be.
TV is not going to turn into the internet. Yet more people are going to turn to the web for their news and entertainment.
One man's fun is another's obscenity. It's such a nebulous area there's no telling what'll come of this nonsense.
The most obscene thing on the air ain't the cussin', it's the out and out lying and character assassination being done by so-called hosts. Limbaugh #1.
