Because others won't. How big a cesspool do you want to swim in?

And again, as you pointed out, our rights come with responsibilities. Should we ban guns, even with the second amendment in place, because of illegal shootings? If people choose to act irresponsibly then your beef is with them. We know the government in general has a horrid track record of respecting individual rights. Allowing our current government to infringe on those rights isn't going to help.

The FCC licenses broadcasters to "serve" the public. How does the "F" bomb serve the public good?

It doesn't. That's why I do not watch TV or listen to radio programming which makes use of it. How hard is it to turn the thing off if you do not like it?

What are you going to do when conservative news outlets are silenced "to serve the public good?"

Should we ban guns,

Strawman.

The 1st Amendment does not give people the right to be profane. The bottom line is that public airwaves need to be regulated. We have become a coarse society that will not get any better by allowing profane language on TV and radio.
