![]() CBS thumbs nose at rules with '9/11' "9/11," which will be shown in prime time, contains a tremendous amount of hard-core profanity. CBS has stated it has not, and will not, make any cuts in the amount and degree of profanity. CBS will ignore the law. The network is suing the FCC over the indecency law, saying it should be able to show whatever it desires whenever it desires. CBS wants no limits. This is a test case to see how far CBS can go. If there is no outpouring of complaints from the public, it will go further the next time. The profanity is so bad that CBS has warned affiliates that they could be subject to huge fines. The FCC says it will fine not only the networks, but also affiliates if the law is violated. Under the new Broadcast Decency Act the $325,000 per incident could run into millions of dollars not only for the network but also for local affiliates. CBS could very easily bleep out the profanity, but it refuses. The goal of CBS is to be able to show whatever it wants at any time. The network wants no restraints on its programming. If it is allowed to get away with this, it will simply air even more profanity in the future. This isn't an issue of censorship. It's an issue of responsibility to the public. Donald E. Wildmon is founder and chairman of the American Family Association.
