WASHINGTON (AP) -- Faced with public ire over racy language, explicit scenes and skin-baring outfits, the Senate overwhelmingly agreed on Tuesday to fine radio and television broadcasters and personalities as much as $3 million a day for airing indecent entertainment.In the 99-1 vote, only Sen. John Breaux [D-LA] pointed out, "[the bill] deals with communications and media issues and should not have been attached to a national security and defense bill."
Anyone remember a few months ago, when congress was trying to kill the new FCC regulations allowing media conglomerates to swallow up more local staions and papers? Y'know, the only good communications legislation of the millenium? Well, it's included in the measure, but will probably get lost in the confrence committee.
