So my take on this is the the full Commission got on the Enforcement
Bureau ass for violating the content control rules.

(A) There was no "Enforcement Bureau" at the time. The current
Enforcement Bureau has a lot more muscle and leverage in Commission
legal circles than the Field Operations Bureau had at that time.

(B) That was the "old" Commission where content wasn't anything
they wanted to deal with. Although I do not agree with some of
their recent decisions on broadcast media content, there's a whole
new ball game playing at the Portals nowadays.

My own two electron's worth.

The all "new" Portals is nothing more than a classic bureaucratic
reshuffling
of the deck chairs. Looks good but accomplishes nothing.

Tell that to CBS and the other broadcasters who after 70 years have
been hit with monetary forfeitures which, although miniscule in
comparison to the dollar amounts that they normally deal with, are
a heck of lot higher than things were in the past, and could be much
higher in the future now that The Congress added a bunch more zeros
to the amounts, and this new Chairman wants to put cable and
satellite broadcasts in the same pot.

Whether the FCC should or should not be doing it is not the question
here.

Oh but weren't we blaming all that on the "Bush Religious Fundamentalist
Zealots" just a few weeks ago. You change your mind like people
change their underwear. Same bureaucrats same agency, just different
bells and whistles. Same bureaucrats sleeping at the same desks they
been comatose at for the last four decades.
