Not The Job Of the Federal Government!

J.J. Jackson* | March 16, 2006

I don’t care what you say, you cannot find justification for the FCC fining television stations in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. But if you would like to try, go for it!

The government proposed a fine of $3.6 million against CBS and dozens of its stations and affiliates Wednesday in a crackdown on what regulators called indecent television programming.

The Federal Communications Commission said a network program, “Without a Trace,” that aired in December 2004 was indecent. It cited the graphic depiction of “teenage boys and girls participating in a sexual orgy.” - NewsMax

Turn the freaking station off! Don’t run to the Nanny State to protect you.
