After posting that previous thing about Fox News<\/a>, I became curious–not for the first time–about how Fox maintains its broadcasting license given the multitude of ugly problems it spews out every day. (Oh, gee, sorry, I think I’m supposed to call that “corporate culture.”)<\/p>\n

Are there regulations controlling what news stations can broadcast? How many distortions and lies and defamatory statements are they allowed to promulgate? Per week? Or day?<\/p>\n

When does the deep decolletage for nearly all female on-air personalities suggest a Hooters uniform?<\/p>\n

And how many discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuits can a news broadcaster face, settle and\/or lose before the Federal Communications Commissions says “No more”?<\/p>\n

And is there anything we can do about this?<\/p>\n

Yes! Apparently there is.<\/p>\n

And apparently there are<\/em> rules.<\/p>\n

Take a look through the actual FCC rules, linked below the table of contents. Click on some of those links, like “Public Participation.”<\/p>\n

Oh, and this is one of those times I wish I were a genuine rebel leader, able to gather millions to a cause. But I’m not. All I can do is encourage a genuine rebel leader–maybe one of those women who protest outside Fox’s headquarters and studio–1211 Sixth Avenue, between 47th and 48th Streets (to my surprise: I thought it was east of Second or thereabouts; it seems to have moved to new digs)–to take up the cause of getting Fox’s license revoked.<\/p>\n
