NEW YORK (AP) - The Federal Communications
Commission today fined all affiliates of the CBS network for their role in the
Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" episode at this year's Super
Bowl. The FCC stated that "the affiliates have a responsibility as
guardians of the public's airwaves to assure viewers that this type of indecent
programming does not occur."
A spokesperson for KPIX in San Francisco replied that
perhaps their station may not carry the next speech by President Bush in
retaliation, stating "we already got in trouble once for showing a big boob
on our station. Why do it again?"
A spokesperson for KTTR in Portland agreed, saying that
keeping the president off the air would be a case of "tit-for-tat."
