My Revolution and the FCC's turnaround
In case you have any continuing doubts about the ever-repeating and nonetheless changing character of our country:
Sara Jones had to sue the FCC for fining radio stations that play her song "My Revolution". Why? The FCC has labeled her song as containing "unmistakable patently offensive sexual references" that "appear designed to pander and shock." After suing the FCC, the comission ruled that "the licensee [KBOO public-supported radio in Oregon] did not violate the applicable statute of the commission's indecency rule, and that no sanction is warranted".
Sane heads prevail, but only after massive outcry. Whereas I'm still wondering, what part of "no law" is unclear in the First Amendment?
