Reply #60: I don't buy that [View All]

First off, I don't think cable is held to the same standards as broadcast. Hell, ever watch FX? Some pretty raunchy stuff and salty language at ol' Rupert's other entertainment channel (first one, of course, being his news channel).

Though I can see CNN using a delay, after what Novak's little outburst last year. They don't want a repeat of that.

I didn't see FOX News censoring the "Hannity Sucks Ass" sign last week, so either they don't use delay or somebody was asleep at the control board.

Broadcasters are scared shitless about the new FCC rules. I'm sure all they're concerned about is profanity and tit flashing. But that's over-the-air. Not sure how that would apply to cable.

As for Chuckie, good for him. He screwed up, and he did the right thing and apologized. Think some asshole like John Gibson or Bill O'Reilly would ever do that?
