Below is a letter I recently received from GrassFire about NBC refusing to pay fines for the infamous Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. How does this letter strike you? Is this the appropriate response to such issues? To what extent do you or should you participate in television content control and regulation?
Lawyers for CBS are aggressively challenging the FCC’s
fine for Janet Jackson’s alleged “wardrobe malfunction”,
saying the 2004 breast-baring incident that appeared
in more than 100 million homes is unfortunate, but
happened so fast it is simply not worthy of a
half-million dollar fine.
According to CBS’s 76-page suit, the network claims there
was nothing indecent about Ms. Jackson’s behavior, in fact,
they believe the First Amendment gives them the right to
air smut on television at any time!
++ Tell CBS Executives to “Pay Up!”
Jonathan, American television viewers need to respond to
CBS–letting them know that they do not have a right to
bludgeon viewers with obscenities and indecent acts!
That is why Grassfire wanted to give our Broadcast Decency
team an opportunity to PERSONALLY sound off to CBS executives,
telling them to “Pay Up”!
