porn can be displayed. It doesn't allow the George Carlin words on television either. It already does filter what we see when it damn well pleases.
Is our right wing government, (and let's face it, both major parties are to the right, in truth), ever going to stop a racist/homophobic/neo-Nazi film from airing anywhere? No. They'll stop porn, cuss words, simple nudity, and anything else that they deem "indecent" instead. They'll never ban the display of racist/homophobic/neo-Nazi films though.
Let's face the facts here. Our government agrees with that shit. They refuse to even call domestic terrorists from that political ideology, "terrorists." We have a massive war on "terrorism" going on and they simply don't care about the homegrown variety. That speaks volumes.
You might as well be arguing with a brick wall as to go up against the FCC, because they are the all powerful controllers of what can and cannot be said. If what you say is something they do not want to hear, they'll either fine you an exorbitant amount for it or shut you up by shutting you out. Case closed...for now. Who knows who Obama will put in charge of the FCC? Best bet: wait and see, THEN say something if it even looks possible at that point. Right now, you might as well walk up to a cop and tell him to go ahead and taser you and spare your energy, if you are going to try to use a public/private land angle to negotiate with them. They'll call you a socialist and lock you in a padded room. That's just the reality of the world in which we currently live.
