FCC does not apply same standard to Hispanic shockjocks

[wuushew]

Is this good or bad? Shockjocks free from censorship is good but conservative hypocrasy is bad.


-snip-


Spanish-language shock jocks seem to have a de facto grant of immunity from the FCC. Only one of its 20 staff investigators speaks Spanish, and none of the nine radio and TV stations fined in the last 15 months for violating the agency's indecency standards was a Spanish-language broadcaster.

1. Yeah, I bet Kreol and Hindi jocks get a free ride, too

2. Maybe they're pandering to voters in the Southwest

AZ and NM are swing states, and they can't afford to let them turn blue.

3. The more likely explanation...

is that prudish conservatives don't care about life outside English speaking white Anglo-Amerika. This is strange however since they are the same people espousing universal moral absolutism.
