How do you feel about the FCC being so tough on radio these days? For example...the Opie and Anthony Show was suspended awhile back for a silly comment about a Federal government official.

Hey European....what gives you the right to decide what questions are "appropriate"? If you didn't like what was asked, why not find another one to respond to, instead of going out of your way to insult somebody? Or are you too full of yourself to do that? Get real.

BTW...I happen to be a cop...I know what the "other side of life" looks like. I get my fill every time I go on duty. I have seen some pretty horrible things, so I'm not ignorant to what is going on over-seas, in a war that we shouldn't be fighting.

It's a tough issue -- the argument is that broadcasts over the public airwaves should meet some sort of standards that are above the lowest common denominator. I'm anti-censorship in general, and print media members rarely deal with the issue (except, I guess in times of war). Radio and television are a little different.
Now I haven't heard Opie and Anthony directly, but I've heard about them. It's fair to say that it's a little tough to make them guardians of the First Amendment. Yet, censorship is a slippery slope.

Censorship has it's advantage sometimes but in the states I can't see any grounds for it. the media is such a joke everything that comes of the TV or out of the the radio needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The only thing the FCC should be doing is preventing slanderous comments without a facts.
(sounds like that's what happened Innocent until proven guilty)

What difference does it make, Everything is censored, including you. If you knew what the War Dead really looked like you would be asking a more sensible question.. Like show me the real War in Iraq.. dead babies and women and mutilated American Storm troopers.. or how the planet is self-destructing before our eyes.. because of Corporate greed.. Get a grip and ask an important question

I think censorship is wrong. If people don't want to read something or see something, let them make that decision for themselves. We don't need to government stepping in telling us what's correct and what's incorrect. Censorship is one of the first marks of a dictatorship.

Decode this lyrics " It's up to you"
When there is human errors.
Someone want to help in correcting it.
With self lack of knowledge.
Just slam the door on them.
With time the mess get bigger and deeper.
Ever wonder who fall into the 'Black hole"?
