FCC Republicans offer religious broadcasters mixed message

[Commentary] Two-thirds of the Federal Communications Commission's Republican majority put their party's bipolar stance on broadcast regulation on display at a media conference held last week in Washington (DC). We're for regulating if it involves dirty talk or children, they explained. We're against it if it involves anything else. Speaking at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Media Summit on Wednesday, Commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate served up the moral majority angle. Meanwhile Robert M. McDowell wondered out loud why the agency was considering reviving various "troubling" and "outdated" proposals to encourage more localism in broadcasting.
