The FCC doesn't censor anyone directly, they fine and revoke licenses for violations. It's up to the individual networks to "self-police" with their own batch of censors. CBS, being one of the old big networks that still broadcasts through the airwaves, is subject to a higher level of scrutiny than other channels. CBS was probably just airing on the side of caution because of recent events. I'm not saying it wasn't a silly decision, but rather explaining their rationale.

Well said. I did jump the gun in putting the blame all on the FCC. But its the pressure from the FCC that makes the CBS censors do this..
Just to re-state the fcc did not make this decision they merely pressured cbs to make this decision...
Sorry about that confusion..
Either way i dont think the cbs should be censoring the word jesus on a late night tv show yet run the several other morning shows with the same comments made..
