So who was fined for showing people throwing punches at a sporting event, who attempted to censor and protect "our children" from their role models giving in to violent urges?
This is not anti-US... I am talking about the "moral majority" throughout the East and West... from the people who claim it is an outrage and a disgrace if they see Janet Jackson's boob, to the people in Mecca who threw school girls back into a burning building because they dared to flee the fire with their face uncoverer... the threat is the same... the nature of the offence is clearly and inarguably very different in those two examples, but the cause is the same.
I have no doubt that many people condemn Ron Artest (for fighting back against extreme provocation imo)... but no one is outraged at the networrks showing and glorifyung the event... they are, it seems, if they see human anatomy on a TV.
