The comment I read was they did not rule on things before they hit the airwaves. That's correct. The FCC will not define community standards before the community does. Unfortunately, the FCC defines community offense from form letters sent via the interweb. As a broadcaster, I can say that the FCC has a long history of screwing over the people when it comes to the airwaves that belong to them. Fining a swear word is a higher priority than making sure that communities are adequately represented by the broadcast outlets that service them. It was terrible during the Clinton administration, and hasn't gotten any better since. Although - to some Senators credit, on both sides of the aisle, they have started to talk about the appropriateness of deregulation and its effect on television and radio product.
