AnjaP @Rollo1 (16676) • Boston, Massachusetts 30 Sep 12

This happens so often, it wouldn't be news except - it IS the news. It is the news media, more specifically MSNBC, that is time and again caught editing tapes and outright lying about facts and presenting their lies to the public...

Disturbing Regulations

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 7 Dec 10

Maybe I am misreading but this seems to me to be government interference and censorship. FCC Commissioner Michael Copps would like to see a "public values test" every four years for all news programs on public airwaves. [i]He...

Obama, the Fairness Doctrine, fuggedaboudit, LOCALISM will be the weapon

xfahctor @xfahctor (14113) • Lancaster, New Hampshire 18 Nov 08

Interesting article I stumbled on. Obama supporters can gripe about it not being a mainstream source, but this article in itself is very well sourced and documented through out it's entirety. Besides, it's pretty hard to find...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 10 Sep 08

Do you watch the shows on HBO programming (for those of you who have HBO)? This really isn't just that question, but I have another reason for asking this. Do you watch shows like Entourage, The Sopranos, and Curb Your Enthusiasm...

"Frak!" "Frak you!" "This is frakked up!" On the TV show "Battlestar Galactica," the writers use "frak" in place of real profane words. I believe they do this to get around censorship issues (with the FCC?), much like on myLot...
