FCC: Fucking Corporate Collaborators

Appeals court throws out FCC indecency ruling

WASHINGTON — The federal appeals court in New York on Monday tossed out a key FCC indecency ruling that said a slip of the tongue gets broadcasters a fine for indecency, telling the commission that it failed to give a good reason for its decision and couldn’t likely find a good reason if it had to.

“We find the FCC’s new policy sanctioning ‘fleeting expletives’ is arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedures Act for failing to articulate a reasoned basis for its change in policy,” the court wrote in a 2-1 opinion.

Oh, don’t say Fuck on the air by mistake!

Don’t utter Shit! if you spill coffee on your lap while at a live radio mic!

The entire country will be condemned to Hell!

Meanwhile, do make sure that cancerous behemoths like Clear Channel can suck up and destroy locally-originated radio and turn it into utter shit designed to somnambulize the populace from the looting by the Overgarchy. Do let Rupert Murdoch make a mockery of past American law as he cynically sheds his Australian citizenship for an American one so he can gobble up media here and do let him have a special waiver so he can own the NY Post and a TV station in the same market. And do let the telcos and cable companies throttle the fuck out of Internet bandwidth in the US while the rest of the world’s bandwidth is like the Autobahn compared to our dirt roads.

Yes, do all that.

Just don’t let someone utter a human word.
