FCC's Indecent Friends

Children's-advocacy groups, including the Benton Foundation, weighed in on the Federal Communications Commission's Supreme Court appeal of its indecency finding against swearing on Fox's Billboard Music Awards, saying that too broad a decision could hurt kids. According to a copy of the brief filed with the court, the groups -- which included the United Church of Christ, the PTA and the American Academy of Pediatrics -- said they are not asking the Supremes to decide one way or the other so long as they do not weaken the FCC's regulatory authority over content in the process. Gambling that the justices will take its side, the Parents Television Council asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on the constitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission's indecency-enforcement regime.
