FCC deals with obscenity, indecency & other content related issues. http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/complain.html Someone reporting the other side does not encourage hate or divisiveness. There is a difference between news, opinion and hate. Also the first amendment does not protect our right to say anything. There are a wide variety of regulated speech of which hate & obscenity on television are just one. You are incorrect.

I was complaining of his hateful and obscene language which is in violation of FCC guidelines of broadcast media. Filing a valid complaint to a regulating body on illegal activity is not censorship. My action is not frivolous. Frivolous is without merit with the intent to harass. My complaint to the FCC was neither. You did read the post didn’t you?

Why should Fox be reported as well as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin and others? Because they also engage in hate speech every day of their professional lives. They incite violence; they encourage hate and divisiveness. Unfortunately for me - and for you, Lisa - neither Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity nor Keith Olbermann will ever have action taken against them by the FCC. See, the Federal Communications Commission can not take action against cable television networks. Channels that are available by subscription only are not subject to the same laws as the broadcast networks. In addition, and whether we're normal people or Republican/Tea Bag Hacks we can ALL thank God that the blessed First Amendment of this country protects our right - that is, MY right, your right, Keith Olbermann's right, even Rush Limbaugh's right - to say what they want.
