What is happening?

Overreaction.

It sure looks like someone is trying to turn us into Puritans.

And I don't look good in an Amish hat.

[Lefty]

Overreaction on the part of individual broadcasters and not the govt.

Yes, such as Clear Channel which gives gobs of money to the Repub party and Bush's re-election.

Problem is Lefty, the Stern decision and the FEC has people scared so much so that they're now editing Stones songs and causing PBS to worry about Masterpiece theater episodes. It's fear.

I'm thinking that the $755,000 fine that the FCC laid on Clear Channel might have something to do with it.

C'mon, scared to say damn? These libs tryin' to make a point that im not buying. When stuff goes out on the public airwaves all that's needed is common sense. Apparantly the aforementioned has none.
