FCC Lost

I heard on yesterday's news that an appeals court overruled the large fine the FCC charged CBS regarding the "wardrobe malfunction" incident which occurred during the 2004 Super Bowl half-time show. I'm extremely disappointed in the court's decision. I truly believe that this overruling will now help fuel even more indecency on television. This is not only a victory for CBS but a victory for any other network wanting to "push the button" when it comes to airing what they may feel is entertainment but what those of us with moral values consider vulgar. I was watching that Super Bowl show at the time of the "malfunction", and I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. I specifically remember how shocked I was by the occurence, and also how outraged I was when it happened. In my opinion, it was not a malfunction but a planned action on the part of the performers. There is a battle going on in America between the individuals with morals and those without morals. Yesterday's ruling was a victory for those without.
