This mediaweek story reveals 99.8% of FCC complaints are basically fabricated, stamped out en masse by an organization called the Parents Television Council.

I bet people were a bit upset about some of the "indecency" on television, but I seriously doubt they would take the time to find out how to go about compalining to the FCC, let alone actually do it. The fact that one activist group can basically censor TV is pretty sad.

I think this pass by the Supreme Court on hearing the case against banning masks in New York is a pretty sad statement about free speech in america. Anonymous speech strikes me as some of the most important speech to protect. After all, if you’re speaking out in unpopular ways against the powers that be, might you not want to hide exactly who you are to avoid harrasment and intimidation?

Or am I being too loose in my interpretation of "or abridging the freedom of speech"?
