Supreme court justices debate FCC position on TV swearing and nudity

Liberal justices question whether Federal Communications Commission inconsistently applied restrictions on TV showsLiberal US supreme court justices have questioned if the government inconsistently restricted profanity and nudity on television, opposing some shows but allowing it on famous movies like Saving Private Ryan and Schindler’s List. Conservative justices, meanwhile, voiced support for the Federal Communications Commission’s policy, and said it may have symbolic value in preserving decency at a time when nudity and dirty words have proliferated on unregulated cable channels.
