Murdoch's MAD TV taunted FCC last night
Edited on Sun Mar-28-04 03:03 PM by Atman
Mad TV is one of the most popular shows on FOX and I am sure it make old Rupert a pretty penny. But last night, apparently in response to the skewering of Stern, they were outright taunting the FCC, saying obsceneties barely bleeped, really rude sex comments...then giving out the FOX e-mail address..."Send your complaints here...."

It was pretty amazing. I wonder if Bush will have to fine his biggest contributor $500,000?

4. Mad TV episodes are first broadcast on the Fox broadcast channel, and then
Mad TV episodes are first broadcast on the Fox broadcast channel, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.


Repeats are broadcast on Comedy Central, which is owned by Viacom.

3. you probably have to separate the FOX Network From FAUX News
Edited on Sun Mar-28-04 03:30 PM by TheWebHead
since most would consider Fox the raciest broadcast network of the now big 4... Until they had American Idol, most of their programming probably wasn't looked kindly upon by conservatives, but they likely got a pass because the Faux News counterbalance.
