The shocking truth about the FCC: Censorship by the tyranny of the few via Buzzmachine
Ok, I must admit when I am wrong. Now THIS is fucking journalism. I love it, and especially because it touches upon a major issue I have with the government and especially those in the government who try and dictate morals for the rest of us. Three people were enough to force the fine on Fox for Married by America. THREE. THREE!! Dammit, we need an accurate way to poll the populous so that decisions are not made simply by the number of people who decide to sit down and write a letter. And a minimum statistical bar before which any congressperson should be allowed to see that feedback so that they're not biased by a non-statistically significant sample. AND a stats 101 class for all incoming (and currently present) congresspeople. AND leaders who are elected based on their ability to look at the entire situation, evaluate and make a decision without being swayed by this crap. But most of all, we need a government who will allow people to make their own choices and if crap like this pisses them off, TURN OFF THE DAMN TV. Ugh.
