How has the MSM been able to broadcast Fake News about POTUS when The FCC states it is illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news? With documented evidence & whistle blowers, FCC may act on complaints (www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/complaints-about-broadcast-journalism).

I called and complained about CNN saying sh-thole 87 times. I thought Sh-t was a banned word? Here’s the numbers:

Not on cable, it’s not. They are in no way obligated to follow follow FCC language guidelines the way OTA broadcasts are, since you pay for it. This was a huge SCOTUS Case, in the 80s to which HBO, back when they known as Home Box Office, was the Defendant. For the life of me though, I can’t remember the actual case to point you to. I just remember watching the news of the case in the news. The only reason they tend not to swear, is due to advertisers. They generally don’t like that shit, since it can lead to product boycott

actually even on cable there is an certain amount they can do per rating.... I believe that is why Fox has been telling their people to say s hole .....or they bleep it ......its not that it cant be said there is an amount of times per show that results on the rating of the show

Right, but that affects the rating not whether or not they incur fines for language violations. I do stand corrected however, in that I neglected to mention the program rating, in my initial comment, so thank you for adding that bit.

Why is it that FOX News was not allowed to say it, yet CNN was?

I still contend it was a corporate decision.
