CNN will be recieving a fax or letter or phone call from the FCC very soon informing them that they have been fined.

Well, the guy who is in charge of the ballons and stuff was for some reason near a mic and when the balloons weren't working so perfectly he was getting mad and you can hearr him say a lot of stuff, but in that, he said "hell," and "fuck."

You all should see the idiot being interviewed on Fox. Already blaming Kerry's loss on fixed elections.

I wasn't whining. I was complimenting you. It is rare on NS forums to find pointful, flame-free post.

Since I get so few compliments I'm going to accept that one.

Heh, I'm fairly certain the FCC can't do anything when it comes to a cable network.

actually that is correct. FCC only has jurisdiction over broadcast media. If a network is solely cable driven it does not have to follow FCC guidelines. Hence why showtime and hbo and the like can show what they do.

But I had thought that the FCC ruled that the 'f' word was allowed in certain circumstances... didnt Bono use it on the air, and no fine was levied?
