Only 3 people behind record 1.2 million FCC fine

television — by TDavid @ 10:14 am PST

Wow, this is really something. Maybe you heard about the Married By America TV show $1.2 Million record censorship fine by the FCC? Jeff Jarvis did some investigative reporting and discovered that there weren’t actually 159 different people as originally reported. Via Buzzmachine:

With not much original reporting, I discovered that the latest big fine by the FCC against a TV network — a record $1.2 million against Fox for its “sexually suggestive” Married by America — was brought about by a mere three people who actually composed letters of complaint. Yes, just three people.

This is outrageous government activity. The First Amendment is under fire, people!
