Question:
Should the FCC and other censors be able to tell us what we can & cannot listen to over the radio?

Choices:
Yes, everything.
Only certain words and phrases
Nothing, no one should tell me what is appropriate for me to listen to
I would change some things, but not the basic idea of censors
It doesn't matter to me one way or the other,

 

some things should be censored on the radio. you have to admit that some artists go overboard on the things that they say. if you really want to listen to a song without censorship, go buy the cd or get it off the internet. because the public radio is...well...public, censorship is necessary. i do however think that the radio goes a little overboard on what it censors. i mean there are times when everyone is going to know what the word is, when they block that it just ends up ruining a song.

On public radio, yes. This the type of radio that you can build in your basement (FM/AM).

However, 'satellite radio' shouldn't be censored in any way. It's then not a public service, but a contract signed between you and the business.

The same with 'radio' on the internet.

I agree with IThinkTwice.

Music is a way to get things that you feel out for the world to hear. When they censor lyrics the song cannopt be heard as it should. If a song needs be censored because the FCC doesn't agree it should not be on the radio in the first place. Mind you, I believe they're harsh.

no. musical artists' purpose is to make the audience feel what they feel. to get a point across. without certain parts, its just another brainwashing media tune.

Who is the FCC?
