![]() "misterfact" wrote in message ... "David Eduardo" wrote in message ... "misterfact" wrote in message ... I'm talking about those who continually commit FCC broadcast law violations. (Like lying about consumer products for personal profit and dispensing false medical "information" , thus making people sick or even die!) What FCC "laws" would they be violating, please. Well- for instance: The adverse health effects of secondhand cigarette smoke have been well-documented..... (Snip, snip, snip). The FCC has no rules (the only "law" the FCC has is called "administrative law" unless I am sorely mistaken) against this. The FCC basically has rules about technical operation, and the programming "rules" concern indecency, station IDs, etc. There is just about nothing on content other than indecency. Other government agencies, ranging from local to Federal, have jurisdiction on the areas you are mentioning, but not the FCC. And a lot of what you mention is what, in English, we call "opinion." If a talk host wants to state he or she does not believe in the "trumped up figures about second hand smoke" they are well within their constitutionally _protected_ rights to disagree. Many people disagree with creationism or evolutionism, despite either Biblical or scientific "proof" and such disagreement is protected. I can go on the air and state my belief that the Earth is flat, and that it is only our societal perception that it is round that makes it so. It's, in this case, my opinion. You are basically chasing windmills. And they are the windmills you constructed based on your belief system. Fortunately, we live in a free society, and we don't have to agree with you. |
