You mean like FCC fining people over Janet Jackson's boob? You have freedom of the press, when you own a press. But the spectrum is not owned by the licensees. There are rules. Limits. I am not for government owning the spectrum. But that's the current situation. | ||

Broadcast indecency rules (like those for a wardrobe malfunction) are a narrow exception and don’t authorize the government to punish political viewpoints; even on publicly licensed spectrum, officials can’t wield licensing power as a cudgel against disfavored speech, because the 1st Amendment forbids it. | ||
