FOX NEWS and what I just heard... TALKING ABOUT MEN'S BALLS
I just saw some show on fox news and one of the guests just said that John Kerry didn't have the balls to fight terrorism.. Yesterday they had some guy taking the plce for Linda Vester and he was talking about some woman who had been arrested for shoplifting at an adult novelty store. She had stolen a vibrator or something like that. And then do you know what the host said??? He said, I wonder where she stuck the vibrator to conceal it??? Fox News is nothing but an X rated, reality show....... I am calling the FCC on Monday. We need to let Mr. Powell hear about this one since he was appalled by Janet Jackson's breast...

1. Sexual titillation
with a condemning moral overlay has always played well to a certain segment of society.

You would think that, after putting up a pic of a woman getting reamed by a huge penis, Fox would learn its lesson.

2. I agree, you should contact the FCC
If they do nothing, it is proof of a double standard within the FCC. What you said shows that aside from being biased, Fox News is also to vulgar to be considered actual news.

3. Rupert Murdoch is a sick, old, distracted man
A couple of $250K fines might get his attention.

4. The FCC doesn't regulate cable television.
Only broadcast television.

Thank God the FCC doesn't regulate cable. Otherwise, my favorite channel, the Independent Film Channel, would go off the air.

5. I reported them recently and got nowhere
They were showing what appeared to be a woman being penetrated as a back-drop to some series on porn they were doing, they'd blurred it a little but not that much.
I reported it to the FCC and know what their reply was? It doesn't count as Fox is not available as a free broadcast network, it's cable and has to be ordered and paid for.
That's how they get away with it.

6. Indeed
It's a good thing the FCC doesn't regulate cable or satellite radio.

9. I've noticed for years that..........
Republicans LOVE the sex talk. If you'll notice Scarborough almost every night has some titillating tidbit as a promo to get his right wing zealots to turn on his show. Look at Fox Family network. It's always had the most risqué shows on a major network. They are a bunch of pervs that love to think about it, watch it, talk about it and behind closed doors, DO it!
