[Subdivisions]

[Karenca]

1. Who said fucking? eom

[Subdivisions]

[liberalhistorian]

4. Had I been an FDNY firefighter on 9/11,

"fucking" is the very least of expletives and expressions that would have come out of my mouth!

[AntiFascist]

3. No shit?! I'll have to tune in n/t

[nancyr]

5. Must have been a Democrat.

Everyone knows the good side doesn't talk that way.

[AntiFascist]

15. Actually I recorded this from the first time it aired...

its difficult to watch because you can actually hear the thunderous crash of bodies hitting the ground, together with people's reactions, not to mention hearing the screaming woman who came out of the burning elevator with someone else who was on fire.

[valerief]

6. Did Janet Jackson show a boob, too? The world is going to hell

in a handbasket. Lordy, lordy.

[Poiuyt]

7. Can't they be fined for that?

It IS network after all. We need to complain to the FCC

[onecent]

8. I was just commenting about this to my husband. They have said

fuck several times. Fuckin' doesn't bother me, but you can bet the evangelicals will be in arms tomorrow and it will be front page news...LOL

[johnnie]

10. The evangelicals won't care

They don't want to watch a real film on 9-11, they are all watching the GOP fantasy film.

[mcg]

20. They've already been in arms, even before it was shown,

see

There's a few threads here I believe about this.

[CarlVK]

9. OK, FCC....do your stuff!!!

Unless of course, rightwing films about 9/11 are IMMUNE from the rules?

[johnnie]

11. Wrong film

[uppityperson]

12. CBS, not ABC

ABC is where The Path to 9/11 Fantasy is. CBS is where the true documentary, with true facts, and a cuss word, is.

[Pirate Smile]

13. They wont show it on my affiliate until 11:00 pm.

:eyes:

[teach1st]

14. The CBS documentary is fantastic

Just real stuff. No fucking spin.

[Janice325]

16. Are you fucking shitting me???

:wtf:
I wonder how much they're gonna get fined by the FCC.
PS
Good for CBS!!! :thumbsup:

[JNelson6563]

17. What an utterly useless post.

Oy.

18. "American Family Assn" pressing for $325K fine for each 9/11 profanity

CBS Affiliate General Manager Says 9/11 Clearly Violates New FCC Rules

Your local manager needs to see this! Please forward this information to him.


CBS will air their program 9/11 this coming Sunday evening. The program contains much obscene language. CBS has said they absolutely will not mute the obscenities.

Rick Jordan, General Manager and Vice President of CBS affiliate WBOC-TV in Salisbury, Maryland, had this to say concerning the obscene language:

"This program contains elements which CLEARLY violate the Federal Communication Commission’s NEW indecency guidelines and policies. While this program has aired two other times on our station in past years, this program's content is now in direct violation of the FCC's recently revised and enacted indecency rules.

"WBOC is granted a license to serve the public by the FCC, and as a federally licensed television station, the station is required to adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC has refused to make any exception to their new rules for stations that choose to air this show and violate these new policies. WBOC intends on complying with our requirements as public trustees by airing an alternate program."

Take Action

Do your local CBS affiliate a favor. Ask them to refuse to air 9/11, or at least, air it after 10:00pm local time. The station stands to be fined $325,000 for each indecent incident they air. Your CBS affiliate could end up paying millions of dollars in fines. I know you don't want that, and we don't want that. But we also believe that CBS should play by the rules.

Please forward this email information to your local station manager today!

19. This is why my Sinclair-owned CBS affiliate is delaying it until

10:30 here locally! MORANS!!!!

This is a great documentary (originally shown in 2002), and the one that people SHOULD be watching tonight.

[Pirate Smile]

22. That was pre-Janet Jackson's boob exposed. After that, the world changed

21. At one point in the documentary

(I think it was after the first tower fell and the cameraman started running) someone said to him (the camera guy) "Get outta here. This ain't fuckin' Disney Land." Truer words have never been spoken. Oh the irony!

It was an excellent program, btw.
