The FCC does many things, but in terms of what can and cannot be televised on national 'over the air' television, that anyone with a television set, can pick up for 'free,' their job is to pacify, through exclusion of content, those voters that would have a hissy-fit otherwise. There are all kinds of people here in the United (Melting-Pot) States of America, with all kinds of beliefs, to exclude certain content from that particular medium, when it is readily available on paid programming television, i.e., cable and satellite, especially premium channels, lends to both, of that money and power of which I've spoken, and the true beliefs of the beauty of nature, to which Bill and I have also referred, one just has to 'pay,' to access it.
If the signal is freely available, there are those that can twist that fact, such to make it seem, as though it's being thrust upon them, whereas, if one has to pay to have access, it is seen commonly as their decision to subscribe to it, and then they can't complain, can they, of course all of this brings smiles to those faces that control it, as their bank accounts grow ever increasingly.
