Uh-oh. The FCC & porn

Uh-oh. This can’t be good. Not that I’m advocating sexual stuff where it shouldn’t be, but this move just strikes me as something that could be really bad.

Penny Nance, who describes herself as a religious conservative and has been a vocal opponent of racy images on television, has been hired by the Federal Communications Commission as a part-time adviser to its Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis, Mediaweek reported Monday. Last January, in a letter to President Bush, Nance complained of a “huge indecency problem” on basic cable and said that networks should restore the 8:00 p.m. family hour. In an Op-Ed piece published in the Washington Times three years ago, Nance wrote, “Sexual themes and even soft-core pornography are rampant on shows such as CBS’ Survivor and MTV’s Real World.” She also stated: “There are plenty of cases where television content violates the FCC’s standards, there have been countless cases over the past decade or more. But the FCC hasn’t acted on a single complaint.” Her comments were made before the to-do over the Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident.

I grew up a @Phillies fan, so the @Braves were a hated rival. Not Hank, though. I remember wishing he would be on… https://t.co/n81g1FpY7v
