Umm ... did Lawrence's guest just F-bomb MSNBC ?

The leader of Pussy Riot just described someone's husband as not giving a flying f**k about her -- it went by so fast, I couldn't be sure if it got censored or not.

It's cable, so no FCC fines apply, IIRC.

Nadya certainly did say that. BigmanPigman Oct 2018 #2

Yep, but she spoke so quickly and with an accent, the censors didn't catch it to bleep it out. SunSeeker Oct 2018 #3

Hope Lawrence doesn't get fined for it. Although with Trump in the White House, any f-bombs on TV seem mild in comparison.

MSNBC is regulated content wise the same as HBO; which is to say it isnt regulated.

The content is determined by what the advertisers will put up with.

I remember years ago, AMC (when it was still a classic movies channel with no commercials) once aired an uncut version of "Apocalypse Now" and the head of the one of the largest cable companies told them that if they ever did that again that he would drop them from their channel lineup.
