Ok this story came up last week when some of the ABC channel affiliates were afraid to run the "Saving Private Ryan" movie in fear of the evil FCC giving them fines. I don't understand how the right-wing republicans can take offense to something that is very close to historical fact. Even my favorite Republican, John McCain, is outrage with people who are complaining about ABC airing "Saving Private Ryan".
Of course recently the right-wing is complaining about the Lime Light of Alfred Kinsey. I personally don't care either way on this subject, but it is a movie and the right-wing has no right on stopping freedom of speech.
Click here for an up to date story on this topic.
On this topic I am more central. There should be limitations on prime time hours, even if it is artistic.
The one counter claim is that parents now have V-chips and should be monitoring their kids anyway. If they are up that late anyway, then they probably already heard that word before in school. Lets be realistic, by 4th grade, I can say confidently that all kids at that level have heard all the common swear words used in movies.
