Supreme Court backs FCC power to punish airing profane language
An editorial criticizes the Supreme Court ruling that the FCC may punish broadcasters for fleeting profanity even as it questions how such censorship aligns with First Amendment protections. It notes the shift from live coverage allowances to broad authority over airwaves and compares broadcast rules to the unregulated Internet. The piece suggests user responsibility and parental monitoring as alternatives to government censorship.

Patterson notes Texas glass firms invested heavily after earlier code adoption and cites the Texas Glass Association member’s perspective.
