The FCC sets standards and executes them - that's their reason for existing. They are a necessary part of a responsible society.
Corporations make decisions on what they do and they have the responsibility and power to decide who they employ and what they broadcast and publish.
How about discussing the value of the things that violate the FCC standards and staying with the specific issues.

While I respect what you are saying, i.e. we must have rules to govern a civilized society, I was addressing, albeit through analogy, the issue of those things that violate the FCC standards,and the FCC standards themselves, and voicing my opinion that the FCC standards, that should reflect society's standards, should not be administered in a volitile manner reacting in broad, sweeping fashion to a single "violation". I agree, standards are necessary, but they should not swing like a pendulum based upon the moral views, religious convictions or political affiliations of the reigning President. And that is what I believe we are seeing in the issues being addressed in this forum.
