Thankfully I missed that one; but I'm not surprised by it. The left wants to ban speech that it doesn't approve of. It won't be long before politically incorrect speech becomes a crime like in some parts of Europe.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

So does 'the right.' They target 'profanity' and 'pornography' because god told them it was bad.

What shumer said, and what TfaC is stating are not the same. TfaC as usual....is trolling.

His septic system must have backed up.

Only on television, in lyrics, on radio, and in the movies. But that's just as bad since government has no business legislating speech.

Do you have the exact quote?

It is actually a video from fox news. He's discussing the 'fairness' doctrine. I can't find a transcript and I know you don't do youtube.

Don't you find it quite hypicritical that those who wish to take language they consider 'obscene' off of the radio, television and internet but then they whine when they become regulated?

Guess they should have thought about the first amendment when they were messing up my viewing and listening pleasure.

yes, and when they start punishing the dissentors is when the dissentors will rise like the forefathers.

Here are a number of reports

Hot Air Schumer on the Fairness Doctrine: Just think of it as regulating pornography

TheHill.com - Schumer on Fox: Fairness Doctrine ‘fair and balanced’
“The very same people who don’t want the Fairness Doctrine want the FCC [Federal Communications Commission] to limit pornography on the air. I am for that… But you can’t say government hands off in one area to a commercial enterprise but you are allowed to intervene in another. That’s not consistent.”

he is equating pornography to what he calls 'fairness'.. His interpretation of fairness which is what is fair to him. Chucky Cheese does not like dissent.

This is justice leftist style. Censor all dissent... say goodbye to what is left of the Constitution.

How is the media remotely educational when it's largely corporate right wing trash? The media fails at it's job because it's so horribly biased in favour of right wing business views.

Really? the media failed to do its job in identifying the facts and history of Barack Obama and because of its failure worked to get him elected.

The Media is no longer a journalist organization. Numerous questions that were raised by many Republicans about Obama still remain un answered.. and the media NEVER cared.

As did many (myself included I must admit) when Bush was elected.

I also remember 90 % taxes and 18 % interest rates under Carter.

But now that the Constitution no longer applies, anything goes... right?

Who cares about the economy.. the state will bail us out.
