The FCC sent me a routine email in reply to my earlier complaint, as follows:
You are receiving this email in response to your inquiry to the FCC.
Thank you for contacting the FCC. The Communications Act prohibits the FCC from censoring broadcast material, except when that material is obscene.
The Communications Act and First Amendment to the Constitution prohibit any action by the FCC that would interfere with free speech in any type of broad-casting.
The FCC cannot interfere with a broadcaster's selection and presentation of material for the news and/or its commentary.
This e-mail contains an attachment that is in ".pdf" format. If you are unable to open this attachment, it is most likely because your computer doesn't have Adobe Reader, which is the program needed to open these types of files. You can install a free copy of Adobe Reader from the Adobe Web site at

I have just sent them a reply to this email to the effect that Rather and CBS are complicit in criminal forgery and lies, and that after considering their response I do not think such activities fall within the description of freedom of the press to express opinions about political matters.
If the FCC get enough complaints, maybe they'll get off their fat bureaucratic *sses and do something.
