Public airwaves may be one step closer to becoming an indecent wasteland of swearing, nudity, and violence?a victory for First Amendment-lovers everywhere. Yesterday, the Supreme Court unanimously threw out fines against Fox and ABC for airing brief expletives and nudity, arguing that the FCC's rule against "fleeting" indecency was too vague.?The narrow decision won't change the content of broadcasting anytime in the near future, but it has given the FCC more latitude in what it considers indecent and renewed the conversation about whether indecency rules are relevant in a world of Netflix, Hulu, and 24-hour access to the pornographic universe.ron burgundy millennial media nit championship transcendentalism bells palsy channel 5 news uc berkeley
