Right wing anti-free speech activist calls for FCC fines against 60 Minutes - GoFuckYourself.com

Mr.Fiction · 04-19-2004, 05:32 PM

Attorney John Thompson, whose complaints about Howard Stern helped prompt Clear Channel to banish the jock and the FCC to fine the company almost half a million dollars, says he has faxed a complaint to the FCC about Sunday night's 60 Minutes broadcast, in which singer Mary J. Blige uttered an under-her-breath "shit."

According to Thomson, he sent the complaint yesterday to FCC Chairman Michael Powell and his senior legal adviser. He did not contact CBS or 60 Minutes and neither had any comment.

Thompson in his complaint said: "This constitutes a violation of FCC-enforced decency standards, just a surely as does Bono?s use of the word "fucking" on the prime time telecast of the 2003 Golden Globes. "

Same asshole who's trying to get Howard Stern shut down.

These right wing pro-Bush anti-free speech extremists need to be stopped.

This has nothing to do with free speech it's just seeing how low in the sewer you can sink.

I thought the FCC removed restrictions on the word "shit", hence southpark using it like 130+ times in one episode?

*edit* guess that's cable, 60 minutes is on regular TV, doh !

Let's hook this guy up to a lie detector and ask him if he's ever used these words, and how many times, and then let's fine him for each.

I hate these extremist. Trying to impose there views on everybody else. But in private the guys probably a sick pedo or something

I REALLY hate cencorship, however I'm glad to see it infecting the most mainstream of shows so that people can't say "I don't care, its only affecting perverts like Howard Stern."

cluck · 04-19-2004, 06:37 PM

Seriously, kill them all. People are getting more and more ridiculous.

There is a difference between saying it in the privacy of your own home, and putting it to air on prime time TV. It is bullshit that this can be used politically to silence certain views (Howard Stern for exmaple), but there is no doubt that some level of decency has to be maintained on prime time TV.

During his campaign, didn't he call some reporter a "major league asshole"? I seem to remember something about him not knowing his mic was on at the time.

children, children, children.
hopefully once you're out of school, you'll understand our laws and their enforcement.
The FCC has never allowed foul language over the airwaves. Idiots push the envelope.

You children too often confuse "extremist" with "cultured"
you see, once you're no longer a teenager, you no longer think its cool to curse in public.
