Does the FCC's failure to fine Limbaugh represent regulatory capture?

15. Thanks for the vetting rather than responding to the post. Why not place me on your ignore list?

I support Obama's phone call to Ms. Fluke.

I also found it enraging that our national bully is having such an effect on our Congress, and is allowed to slander a private citizen, that our POTUS feels compelled to step in -- which was the right thing to do. Had the FCC been protecting Americans from Limbaugh's obscene speech for the past 20 years, we might not be here.

The least the FCC could do is fine Limbaugh for obscene speech over public airwaves. Isn't it odd that the right can use regulatory agencies, such as the FCC, for their cultural wars (against Janet Jackson's breast!), but the left won't use the FCC in cases of clear-cut obscenities? I understand the need to protect the First Amendment, but what if women were silent while Fluke was slandered? Fluke would be marginalized. Who's to say she still won't be? Does Msanthrope care that America is squandering the talent of so many young women? Or do you just want to silence me, and go away with your petty win?
