CBS worries about the NAUGHTY WORDS!
Some CBS Affiliates Worry Over 9/11 Show
By LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK - Broadcasters say the hesitancy of some CBS affiliates to air a powerful Sept. 11 documentary next week proves there's been a chilling effect on the First Amendment since federal regulators boosted penalties for television obscenities after Janet Jackson's breast was exposed at a Super Bowl halftime show.

"This is example No. 1," said Martin Franks, executive vice president of CBS Corp., of the decision by two dozen CBS affiliates to replace or delay "9/11" _ which has already aired twice without controversy _ over concerns about some of the language used by the firefighters in it.

Unreal! No, they aren't concerned that the thing is a wet dream of some rightwing fanatic who wants to blame it all on Clinton. No, they aren't concerened that it's politicized sensationalism meant to benefit the pro war crowd in power. No, they don't even BLINK at it's timing.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NAUGHTY WORDS!

Do you ever look up in the night sky and just say "Come on, comet, wherever you are, land right here and end this sorry mess"?

Yes as a matter of fact I do on occasion, it would be a lot quicker than what we seem to be headed for.

2. I think you're talking about the biased 911 show to be seen on ABC.
This is a different one.
