The National Religious Broadcasters association has filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court backing the Federal Communications Commission's enforcement of indecency rules. In the filing, the group argues that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals was wrong to reverse the FCC's decision that swearing on Fox Billboard awards broadcasts was indecent. NRB said that the court's decision showed “a callous disregard for the powerful influence, for good or evil, of the medium of television on the hearts and minds of America’s children.”
