File Under: Children more important than the 1st Amendment

An LA Times story about a possible impending Supreme Court case involving the FCC, Fox, and fleeting expletives. The FCC is trying to say that broadcasters should be on the hook when a non-employee drops an F-bomb or other word during a live broadcast. Their reasoning sees to be that these words will destroy any child who hears them, therefore the 1st amendment must be waived.

What the fuck?

That said - I would have to agree that children should not be allowed to watch Fox News, and there should be severe repercussions for anyone who allows that to happen.
