Fuck the FCC

"Cole – the head of Citadel Communications, a company that owns three ABC affiliates – said the FCC wouldn't promise not to punish his stations."

"Stone said the FCC would not clarify if Saving Private Ryan now violates the indecency standards."

Okay, what? How Orwellian is that? We may or may not punish you if you air this movie, but we won't tell you until you air it and we then you'll only find out when we do or do not punish you.
