Holy crap .... what a load of B$ from MSNBC ..... how can the government even let these scumbags keep FAA licenses after this ? Isn't there some kind of penalty for broadcasting LIVE lies??

Like Sam said, you mean the FCC, not the FAA. And no, of COURSE THERE'S NO PENALTY for lying. Sit and think about that for a second. How could the First Amendment only count for things you could "prove" as true in a court of law? As long as you're not libelling someone, it is absolutely acceptable to lie.

And only TV stations have FCC licenses anyway. Cable networks don't have to deal with that sort of thing.
