11. Technically They Can Say Anything They Want...

Wed Dec 28, 2011, 08:57 AM

Cable is exempt from any regulations about language. Most basic channels self regulate but there's nothing that prohibits Keith or Cenk or a guest from blurting out an expletive. Cable is considered "closed-circuit"...you're paying for it to come into your house as opposed to free over-the-air television that continues to have those 7 dirty words regulated.

I really don't pay much attention to the language over the content. Keith does add the dramatic a lot more than he did at MSNBC and this long-time viewer can find it annoying at times. But as far as being offended...I find the more spontaneous the emotion the better in a medium that is normally very vanilla and plastic.
