Freedom To Curse...

The scholarly article, "Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom," connects with the “Freedom’s Curse" article thoroughly. The article that I chose to read was about a brief with the Supreme Court filed by CBS and ABC joined Fox about the FCC on the very issues that the article "Freedom's Curse" was written about. The article was explaining why CBS, ABC, and FOX were complaining about how the reversal of the FCC policies allowing profanity in Bono's speech on the 2004 NBC's Golden Globes broadcast. The FCC said that the context in which it was used was not indecent. Well the article further describes how the FCC later argues that the profanity used by Nicole Richie and Cher in 2002 and 2003 during Fox broadcasts of the Billboard Music Awards were indecent. The similarities in these articles is in that the scholarly article that I chose further explains the incidents described in the "Freedom's Curse" article. From just reading the "Freedom's Curse" article one may not be able to understand exactly what happened to the fullest extent, but after researching the incident in which the article is describing one can get a better idea of the issue.
