Oops, Matthews Just Said "Shit" On The Air

[Hissyspit]

Coming back from the commercial, the camera went on and he was saying "...we're all acting now and putting on shit." Then he looked up, stopped talking and went into the Bloomberg interview introduction.

Hee.

Not really obvious or important, but it was funny.

[Virginia Dare]

Will the FCC slap him with a fine?....

oh, he didn't show his tit, so I guess he's in the clear...:eyes:

8. Cable t.v. - no FCC oversight. nt

[devilgrrl]

18. Oh really? Then why all the heavy editing of 'The Sopranos', etc... on A&E, Bravo, etc.?

The only stations on cable that allow profanity are pay-extra channels like HBO, Showtime.... :shrug:

[Perky]

20. not a requirement to self censure but remember who owns the major cable stations

the Big three Viacom Disney and GE. They start showing nudity sex, graphic violence or other r-rated stuff on non-premium channels or pay-per-view it will get problematic on other fronts for them with boycotts and the like.

[devilgrrl]

23. Got it...

but shouldn't he still be slapped with something anyway? The FCC seems rather fervent about going after anything - gasp! - obscene these days, so why not that clown? :shrug:

The was a similar incident a few years ago that happened on KCRW in LA. The host (don't recall the name) was discussing something and the "F" bomb dropped. It was supposed to be bleeped out but wasn't. Then the host was sacked. :eyes: The listeners were up-in-arms... it was really stupid.

31. One time Fox Cable News showed a pornographic website banner on it's show

to depict the easy accessibilty and dangers of porn on the Internet. The banner showed a clear view of the genitals of a man and woman engaged in intercourse. It was not blurred out, or covered up. I wrote the FCC to protest saying in essence, "showing pornographic pictures on daytime television to illustrate the dangers of porn to our children is much like shooting someone to show them how dangerous guns can be." I received a reply from the FCC stating they "do not regulate cable television." End of story.

1. We heard that too.

So they know that what they are saying is meaningless dribble.

[Hissyspit]

6. He just apologized.

It depends on what he meant by "we," but that is how I read it!

[Berry Cool]

7. The word is normally "drivel"

but in Tweety's case, "dribble" actually applies perfectly!

[Berry Cool]

2. You DID hear what I heard!!!!

I could've sworn I heard him say "shit"! Everyone was chattering as they came back from break, reacting to the Bloomberg announcement and he said, I thought, "We're all here reacting on pretty much shit."

[karlrschneider]

5. Somebody forgot the "and three, two....."

:D

[Hissyspit]

13. It could have been 'reacting' instead of 'acting,' but I'm pretty sure I got the rest accurate.

[Purveyor]

3. Thank you for confirming what I thought I heard and indeed he is right. MSNBC has been putting on

shit, all day!

[Chipper Chat]

4. I 'bout fell off the couch.

Some sound engineer is gonna be in deep doodoo.

[Berry Cool]

10. LOL, he just apologized.

Too bad I never tape Tweety!

[deminks]

9. Heh, heh, I heard it too.

Tweety said shit on the air. Bad Tweety. Bad. You put on shit every day. Why would today be any different?

Update

He just apologized to America. Still, he puts on shit every day.

11. Tweet just apoligized n/t

[senseandsensibility]

12. It was something like we have a lot of acting here,

but all I'm getting is sh##%%*.....something like that, then he obviously realized he was on the air and went into his speel. Very embarrassing for tweets, I thought. Kind of showed what a jerk he is off the cameras yelling at everyone...

[Hissyspit]

14. O.K. so maybe it was more obvious than I thought!

:7

[Hissyspit]

15. Documented by the netroots for all time!

[Rosemary2205]

16. Oh please please please let that clip become the next "Dean scream". nt

[laststeamtrain]

17. It's the new more manly scent: SHIT for Men.

Part of a new line products that include: SHIT for Brains & the old stand-by SHIT & Shinola...

Will Matthews make it 'til the election?

Will there be some incident at this year's Bohemian Grove?

We need a Tweety Freakout pool.

[NoodleyAppendage]

19. He's just pissy because someone is going to dampen the prospects of his lover...Guiliani.

Matthews has a raging hardon for Guiliani and has been pushing him for MONTHS. Bloomberg hurts Guiliani, so he's pissed.

21. off with his head!

[rucky]

22. And you just said it on a message board.

Fuck the FCC nannies.

[dweller]

24. and how is that different from his show daily?

oh, he said the 'WORD' shit ...

dp

[Dinger]

25. Didn't He Drop The F-Bomb On Imus?

Seemslike I remember that. Imus called him on it too.

[Raine]

26. Yes he did

they caught it on the radio but it went out over the TV.

[B Calm]

27. Should Bush pardon Matthews for saying shit on the air?

[Catherine Vincent]

28. I've heard worse on CSPAN of all places.

Every now and then some kook gets through and uses all kinds of profanity. It's been happening a lot lately ever since the new moderator started, I think her name is Greta. She's young and cute. The guys must really like her. :)

[freesqueeze]

29. I liked it...

Showed a certain human side to Matthews.

I thought his appology was interesting also.

[Ioo]

30. Well at least court found this to be okay... FCC can do nothing.

If you say shit on the air, and it is unscripted the FCC can not really do anything about it.

[Supersedeas]

32. It's been like a Bloomberg free infomercial all week....yea, that's shit.
