My Local CBS Affiliate is Airing a Warning About Language in 9/11 Doc.
They said they didn't bleep words out because it paled in comparison to the true obscenity of the lives lost on 9/11. What about yours?

1. Yup ...

"Sensitive content and graphic language ..."

Had one both from the affiliate and the network.

3. Yeah........
some affiliates in Upstate New York aren't showing it until after 10:00 because of the "language". :eyes: Even though it's already been aired twice. It's the new "swearing" laws Congress passed lately. They're worried that they can be fined by the FCC for airing the swearing. ;)

5. Same here. All I've heard so far is,
"Holy shit, holy shit", as the firemen witness the tragedy. Big f-ing deal. I have seen this before. It's very good. However, I can't take viewing 9/11 anymore. The TV is off.

6. The only "warnings" I've seen appear to be the ones CBS has run
it doesn't look like the local station added anything.

As much as their hiring Katie Couric annoys me, I have to give CBS credit for airing this - and running it against the trash ABC is airing.
