Commissioners Kevin Martin (chairman) and Michael Copps aren’t happy about today’s court action. “I find it hard to believe that the New York court would tell American families that ‘shit’ and ‘fuck’ are fine to say on broadcast television during the hours when children are most likely to be in the audience,” Martin said in a statement. Copps warned that any broadcaster “who sees this decision as a green light to send more gratuitous sex and violence into our homes would be making a huge mistake.”
