CNN gutter talk complaint awaits review at FCC

I have a thread on some trends I see on this board descending into the language gutter

What CNN and MSNBC did was use inuendo, explicit inuendo, on top of the “gutter” talk. When I watched the clip of excerpts, I couldn’t believe so-called “journalists/reporters” were using inuendo to that extreme and then smirking like middle schoolers.

“get everyone I know, who saw or heard the language...
They need a number of complaints to be able to do anything.”

Why can’t they get the transcripts, or google it on YouTube?
Exactly what is “a number of complaints” that they need?

If a conservative had spoken like this on air none of this would be necessary. They’d just send the bill.

I don't think the FCC has jurisdiction over cable TV

.

Why should the FCC be involved in regulating the content of a cable network?

I don't agree with CNN and MSNBS' commie slant but I think the FCC should lay off here.

Man50D, I complained to the FCC and received a response. Please see below:

Subject: Disgusting CNN and MSNBC stories

To whom it may concern at the FCC I am totally disgusted by the on-air
behavior at CNN and MSNBC. I am a respectable citizen and
attended one of the Tea Parties in Atlanta. To have my constitutional right
criticized on-air by CNN and MSNBC as some sort of perverted sexual act is
beyond the pale. Please see the article below which describes in detail
the events I describe. I would hope the FCC can put a stop to this behavior
by CNN& MSNBC.

Below description of disgusting CNN and MSNBC behavior on-air!!!

_CNN and MSNBC: sexual degenerates and liars_
(http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2232582/posts)

In all 50 States of the United States of America, Tea Parties were held to
protest massive government waste and oppression. The counts of how many
people attended these peaceful rallies are still coming in. Early estimates
are over 1 million people and may go as high as 3 million or more. The day of
objecting to government bailouts for corporate crooks and a government who
refuses to respect its citizens took place on a weekday, when most people
go to their jobs or have classes.
The protests against a government out of control took place in over 2,000
locations, the largest protest in American history.
It is possible that more would have shown up if they were not required to
be elsewhere.
The major news networks, except FOX News, spent the day ridiculing,
harassing, and insulting honest Americans who have a Constitutional Right to
protest their government. They continuously lied to their viewers as to the
reason for this enormous protest.
They said it was to protest taxes or any number of ridiculous claims. Other
than FOX, Major Media steadfastly refused to report any truth about Who,
What, Where, When, and Why.
All stories are composed of those 5 Ws. Each W was used as a test to see
just how much lying and ridicule the viewers would accept.
The hideous demon witch from another dimension, CNN reporter Susan
Roesgen’s insidious verbal aggression against Illinois demonstrators infuriated the
crowd. When they returned her insults, she crept away behind her
barricade, with security guards and turned to the camera and told the viewers that
the protesters were “anti-CNN.” No, Susan, they were anti-loudmouth, lying,
hysterical, insulting lunatics like you. For whatever reason, CNN shut down
her email at 8:32 pm the day after the protests.
This YouTube.com video of her is before and after the CNN camera operators
got smart and pulled her plug. You can see for yourself what American
viewers have to put up with to try to get some truthful news of our own country.

But the most despicable actions of the spit-polished, shiny-faced,
smiling-Jack newscasters were their steady bombardment of their viewers with
sexually depraved insults against the protesters.
America’s Major Media, with no moral boundaries, brought their filthy,
trashy mouths into the homes of decent, honest, churchgoing people with
children present.
The term “Teabagging” will not be explained here. Adults will figure it out
and children don’t need to know. Most of us had no idea what it was, until
having the term constantly shouted at us by Major News degenerates.
It’s amazing how these people come up with the same insults, the same lies,
the same arrogant attitudes, and the same sexual-deviate analogies at the
same time on the same day.
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper made “teabagging” references while the CNN
analyst, David Gergen, made snide comments about Republicans “searching for
their voice.” And “It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging.”
MSNBC’s David Shuster: “Teabagging day for the right wing and they are
going nuts for it.” The rallies were “full-throated” and “toothless,” and “They
want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government
spending.” And he just couldn’t keep from mentioning how the protesters
“whipped out” the demonstrations this past week.
Questioning whether these are sexually explicit jokes or not, MSNBC’s
Rachel Maddow and her disgusting guest, Air America’s Ana Marie Cox, were happy
to explain. By one count, the two of them used the word “teabag” more than
50 times on one show. Ana Marie Cox informed an unknowing audience, with no
room for doubt that she is one sick cookie, when she told us to see
Urbandictionary.com for the term “teabagging.”
“Well, there is a lot of love in teabagging,” Cox said. This is one
seriously disgusting, sick, psychopathic animal to be bringing this kind of filth
into people’s homes.
What this all means to me is that the major news networks are scared of
losing their rankings and their jobs. They see newspapers going bankrupt and
closing, and they know they are next if they don’t get more viewers. Some
idiot from Harvard Law School must have told them to “Get in you viewers’
faces and show them how disgusting you are.”
And as in all things in this brave new World of Obama, they had to bring up
the cowardly racist American male.
Janeane Garofalo, who plays a small role in Keifer Sutherland’s show “24,”
was on MSNBC’s “The Countdown” with Keith Olbermann Thursday evening. This
dysfunctional creature from Hell said, “It’s about hating a black man in
the White House. This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of
teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that.
The Republican party has crystallized into the white power movement.”
As for the only major news reporting the truth — FOX Broadcasting —
Garofalo, with bizarre hatred, could only relate FOX to the Ku Klux Klan, “Who
else is Fox talking to? Urban older white guys and their girlfriends who
suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.”
These people brought lies, rascism, and sexual acts into your living room,
shouting out a sexual term that few of us knew, until we and our children
were shown where to find the defintion of “Teabagging.” What else, besides
lies and pornography, will they expose our children to? Anything they want,
and you won’t know it until it is too late.
Words cannot describe how Major Media has violated our trust and will do so
again. Is it any wonder major newspapers have been going out of business?

Don’t let these people get away with bringing their filthy behavior into
your home.

BINGO! They don’t. But they are trying.

People that do things like these people did should really be fired. It shows how unstable they are. We have enough programs on today demonstrating unstable people.

I don't think the FCC has jurisdiction over cable TV

I think you are right. I think we should keep it that way. We are already seeing how Obama is trying to use laws and regulations for political purposes. I don't think we want to give him a new arena for politicization.

I didn’t watch any of the networks during the tea parties, but my first thought when I read about it was “this is an Alinsky rule”. It’s a tactic they’ve developed to minimize free speech.

My second thought is “How do these people know so much about pornographic slang?” What do these people do in their spare time?

"BINGO! They don’t. But they are trying."

.. to make you think they might.

Actually, more likely - they didn't even read more than the first line and sent their standard canned reply.

I might be mis-remembering, but it seems to me the Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident got investigated a whole lot faster than this.

Somebody correct me or confirm, please??????

Anderson “180” Cooper was left speechless due to the fact that his mouth was full. This disgusting perv needs to be taken to the wood shed.

“What do these people do in their spare time?”Stay stoned and/or drunk and talk about perverted stuff like “tea bagging” and consider themselves superior and enlightened.That’s why they’re called “libtards”:)

I hear “Little Ms. Potty-Mouth” was on Leno last night...

I sure would like to catch one of these POS in an empty elevator one time...just one time(with no video)...
Slime-buckets like Cooper would have trouble eating much less speaking for at least 6 weeks. BIG SMILE

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Jeff, since CNN and MSNBC transmit through the airwaves over satellite TV I believe the FCC can force broadcasters to stop such behavior:

Your explanation is the most civil of circumstances imaginable. I will refrain from trying to describe the circumstances as I had vaguely imagined, and let you imagine them (vaguely, before you puke) too. ;)

Always remember ... never iron naked
