FCC Seeks To End Live Broadcasts

Today the FCC has started requesting tapes of live broadcasts in order to comb them for "dirty words". For example, a spectator shouts something at a ball game and the network would become liable for broadcasting obscenity.

"It looks like they want to end live broadcast TV," said one executive, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity. "We already know that they aren't afraid to go after news."

This could effectively end live TV and make everything broadcast subject to scrupulous censorship. The effect on the industry will be appalling. I suspect many networks, seeking to avoid fines and censure by the government may stifle political dissention as well just in case.

Upon hearing this I screamed at the top of my lungs, "ENOUGH"! I pledge to devote as much time and money as possible to defeating these "Big Brother" thugs who have taken control of our country in November. If you understand the draconian implications of this latest move, you will do the same. Otherwise, just shut up, hide and wait until they come for you for not marching in goose-step with them.
