Censorship along established lines - i.e. rules is a mark of civilization. The problem is that the FCC has no standards. All radio and television broadcasters - to borrow a phrase from Animal House - are always on double secret probation. They never know what they will be fined for and for what reason. The FCC is totally arbitrary in their censorship criteria. When you live under a system where no rules are in place beyond the whims of the overlord it is a tyranny. If you want broadcast standards to be fair - write them down so people know what is allowed and what is not.

"The problem is that the FCC has no standards"

Fair and appropriate comment. We should demand clear community standards. (it is tough sometimes)

The reason it hasn't been established before is due to industry influence.

Never underestimate the power of "selective enforcement."

one of tyranny's greatest tools for intimidation.
