"Fining syndicates is a new idea by this FCC."

Which FCC? Is there a new one? They've never been fined before or no rules were broken before? One would make it seem that they had never enforced the laws until "this FCC"?

I believe you just asked questions you already know the answer to. Clever but well known debate tactic.

Any response for my position that the REGULATIONS they enforce are growing ever more obsolete as the public airwaves are no longer the limited quantity they used to be as a few hundred available channels can now carry billions of stations, and each piece of information is being asked for by listener and being addressed to that listener by the broadcaster. No different than cable, or satellite, or internet, or for that matter US Postal Service. (ok a little faster than the US Postal Service)

That all of this adds up to a FCC struggling to find a purpose and making that purpose controlling obscenity, which was one of their weakest charges to begin with.
