Buzzmachine’s Jeff Jarvis did a bit of digging and found just three people to be the cause of the FCC’s $1.2 million fine against FOX for it’s “sexually suggestive” Married by America.
Yes, just three people adversely affected free speech and caused a company to needlessly cough up $1.2 million. Jarvis correctly calls into question the sad state of affairs in this country which led to this and the recent freak out over whether or not to air Private Ryan.
We’ve gone insane. That’s the only explanation for it. When companies and the government leave their back bone at the door and bend over for every individual complaint, we become not a democracy but a dictatorship run by individuals who have co-opted our Constitution.
It bears repeating. Three people out of 295 million caused the FCC to fine a company $1.2 Million.
