More on Conservatives and their sky-scraping morality

This is why I don't own a TV set:
Putting pixels on body parts didn’t save Fox from the wrath of the Federal Communications Commission. The agency has rejected the network’s contention that an episode of the defunct reality program “Married to America” did not violate decency standards because female breasts and buttocks were pixelized during a raunchy bachelor party scene in 2003, Reuters reported. The commission said: “To be sure, the pixelation of the female strippers’ naked breasts and buttocks does render the material less explicit and graphic than it would have been in the absence of pixilation. However, the material is still sufficiently graphic and explicit to support and indecency ruling.” Fox disagreed. The commission, acting against only those stations subjected to complaints, fined 13 stations and affiliates $7,000 each.
If these sort of indecencies can occur on the mighty, moral broadcasting home of Bill "Falafel" O'Reilly, I shudder to think what's allowed on those lascivious liberal stations.

MEANWHILE: I see that Roger Stone, another fine, conservative gentleman has joined with some other upstanding Americans to create an anti-Hillary Clinton 527. They call themselves Citizens United Not Timid, and no we are not making this up.
