John Adams Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 This is Bush's Republican FCC... It's gotten so bad that the networks are afraid to air Saving Private Ryan?!? article BTW, I think this a network slap in the face of the Bush/Powell free speech quenchers. I don't think the networks are really scared of fines for Ryan; they just want the FCC to back off, and this is their vehicle to start this fight.

The FCC should be disbanded and people should turn off their televisions if they don't like what's being aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Good. The FCC should be disbanded and people should turn off their televisions if they don't like what's being aired. 112425[/snapback] The FCC should certainly back down, but if they were disbanded, computers, cell phones, garage door openers, TV remotes, etc, would not be restricted to their own frequencies, and there would be total chaos. In that regard, they serve a purpose. But as morality police, they can bite me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The role of government is to protect people from themselves. We all need the government's help to make us good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The morality police aspect would be another good example that both major parties are in favor of big government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
