FOX V. FCC CASE Airing Unedited Profanity- Category:Christian_Conservative_News FOX V. FCC CASE Airing Unedited Profanity
The Parents Television Council has slammed the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York for its ruling in the Fox v. FCC case, "green lighting" the airing of unedited profanity at any time of day on broadcast television. In April 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the FCC's authority to apply the broadcast decency law to so-called "fleeting" expletives on the public airways. The three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the FCC policy of allowing the government to issue fines against broadcasters is a violation of the network's First Amendment rights. The decision stemmed from the case of rock singer Bono, the front man for U2 used a profane word when he received an award during the live broadcast of the 2003 Golden Globe Awards. Patrick A. Trueman, former chief of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section declared, "This ruling only increases the public's belief that government is out of touch with the public and out of step with the U.S. Constitution."
