An article worth a read about some of the consequences of the FCC getting all investigatory with Janet's, um, malfunction.
These points won't satisfy the Repressive Right, but even the FRC and other right-tilting authoritarians ought to remember that its Republican/conservative friends won't always be running Washington. Someday, maybe sooner than we know, it will the Politically Correct Left that is reviewing all shows. And when the political/ideological wheel turns, the same state machinery that the FRC wants to use to wallop its foes will be used instead to wallop the FRC and its friends. As Ronald Reagan said many times, "A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take it all away."
To be honest, I'm getting rather tired of reading and listening to all the riga-ma-role about this whole thing. I'm adding this link because I think it's important to remember both that free speech is one of those things that requires active protection and that free speech is oft time not good speech.
