Infringing on the 1st amendment?
I was completely astonished at the Supreme Court ruling of what can be regulated by the FCC. I feel that our rights to freedom are what the united states were founded off and to regulate what people can and cannot say on the radio, TV, etc. is absolutely ridiculous and is against out constitution. If you don’t want to hear certain cuss words than don’t watch shows that have them in it. I’m sure most stations would beep the words out anyway because they don’t want to offend consumers so it wouldn’t even be that big of a problem. The FCC should not be allowed to regulate what can be broadcast on television. Most cable stations have their own morals and wouldn’t produce obscene material anyway. There would be a natural regulation on what was appropriate to say at certain times. For instance, Disney channel would not put nudity or swear words in their shows because they would lose their strong reputation they uphold with parents. The government should never tell us what not to say.
