The FCC declares networks can't be fined for "fleeting expletives" because President Bush did it.
The FCC also curbs our ability to watch Law & Order marathons on TNT because of Fred Thompson's presidential amibitions (and thankfully so because they'd have to give equal airtime to every other candidate- can you imagine 6 hours a day of the Hillary Clinton show?)
And, last but probably most hilarious, the ever-fabulous Bitch magazine gives us a quick history of abortion in the movies. For those of you not familiar with Bitch and interested in feminist pop culture critique, get yourself a subscription; it never disappoints.

And another thing. . .Newspapers are exempt from the FCC regulations (which only have dominion over broadcasters), thus, endorsements are a-okay. Perhaps we should reconsider our perceptions of the less-biased newspaper media?
Well, even if we don't, people seemingly don't care what the paper says anyway: http://www.ajr.org/Article.asp?id=3750
