Actually I have to agree with them. Spielberg has prohibited any editing of the film and thus any station that shows it in its uncut version would be in violation of FCC rules.

I didn't like Saving Private Ryan. I watched it once, and I could not bring myself to watch it again. Spielberg is no friend of the military and I believe his ultmate purpose in making the film was not to honor the soldiers, but to frighten people at the horrors of war and turn them all into peaceniks like himself. The violence was gratuitious as was the use of profanity.

I support any station that refuses to show it. I would suggest that they substitute Saving Ryan with Cornielius Ryan's "The Longest Day".

That's 3 votes for The Longest Day (and it has the benefit of not being fiction).
