Submission + - Senate committee passes FCC indecency bill (pressesc.com)
Anonymous Coward writes: "US Senate Commerce Committee today passed a bill that would allow FCC to fine broadcasters for slip of the tongue expletives, negating a ruling by federal appeals court in New York that commission's policy on 'fleeting expletives' is arbitrary and capricious. What this means is that once this becomes law, if you someone accidentally says "fsck" even once, the broadcaster gets fined."
