Poll question: Who gets more FCC complaints? Sinclair's Swift Boat Special or Janets BooB
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 07:22 PM by undercover_brother
Just curious as to whether the FCC and Congress will take notice of this Sinclair abuse as much as they did on the 1 second Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. Which one has more potential to harm the country? Which one is a greater abuse?

1. I think your poll is wrong. Sinclair doesn't have every FOX affiliate!
It wwas FOX network that got the complaints about Janet.

2. I consider the two incidents separate. Not trying to imply same company
I am speaking more along the lines of the actual incident more than who did it. My point is that a 1 second nipple exposure ended up with huge fines, safeguards being implemented nationwide at broadcast companies, and a even a Congressional hearing.

What Sinclair Broadcasting has threatened to do is an actual abuse of responsibility, violations of campaign finance laws, and a clear example of what happens when media consolidation is allowed to go unregulated.
