Government's Fourth Branch of Government

The article THE NEWS MEDIA AS POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS explains how the media has become a way to shape our government. When the radio and television emerged, the public was opened up to a way of consistently keeping a check on the government. We were never exposed to 24/7 information on the government before this. Since the media has gained our trust as viewers, we are ultimately subject to whatever the media wants to say. It then goes on keeps the other branches of government in check.
How this relates to Freedom's Curse is that FCC is creating such a thin line between what is acceptable to be said and what is offensive. The FCC, which is a federal commission, is able to limit what the media can say to the public. The FCC is able to "regulate indecency." Since there is supposed to be freedom of speech and press, when will the FCC restrict curses but also restrict information that is seem "indecent."
The line between appropriate and indecent is very thin. In my opinion, it is all debatable. Some find an artificial word offensive, and others find it simply as letters. I do not think that the Founding Fathers were worried about what words are allowed and what words are forbidden. As a culture, we have limited these words so much that hey have become center for evil language. It was never the intent of the words; however, we are responsible for how great or little the significance is.
