FCC asks exemption for stations
Washington The Federal Communications Commission asked Congress to exempt broadcasting stations from damages for libelous political speeches they cannot censor. Chairman Paul A Walker argued the current law makes radio and TV liable for actions beyond their control. The law bars censorship if opposing candidates have spoken, yet does not shield stations from libel. It also requires equal opportunities for air time to all candidates.
