How the **** should SCOTUS rule?

If you are offended by something you choose to watch, watch something else.
If you don't want your kids to see something, be a real parent and monitor/select/control what they can watch.

But don't force your version of morality down everybody's throat.

It's silly to have a different set of rules for over the air broadcasts and those on cable. Let the networks decide what they want to show.

No, let the market decide.

I do think there should be some protections. Like a show is required to have ratings (that they stick to) so that people can actually chose beforehand (rather than after the fact) what they will see.

I don't see much, if any, practical problem with regulating the public airwaves though. The only people who don't have cable/internet at this point are the ones who'd want the public airwaves regulated (probably more strictly than they are) anyways.

Didn't read the thread.

Just wanted to state my support for boobies on the TV-lookie-box.

T.V.s will look very strange. Flatscreens will be positively weird....

That's how, apparently.

The Supreme Court has thrown out fines and sanctions against broadcasters who violated the Federal Communications Commission policy regulating curse words and nudity on broadcast television.

The justices declined on Thursday to issue a broad ruling on the constitutionality of the FCC indecency policy. Instead, the court concluded only that broadcasters could not have known in advance that obscenities uttered during awards show programs and a brief display of nudity on an episode of ABC’s NYPD Blue could give rise to sanctions.

The justices said the FCC is free to revise its indecency policy.

The main issue with the FCC is how wonderfully inconsistant they've been. Good Call.

What ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS etc need to do is this. For over the air broadcasts give the watered down, follow every government regulation to the letter programming. For the feed they provide to cable, insert tits every 15 seconds into their shows.
