CBC Arts: US group protests inaction on TV decency violations: "
A major parents group in the U.S. says it is disappointed regulators did not issue any fines for on-air indecency in 2005 after a record number of penalties the previous year.
'Here 2005 is going to end … and nothing has been done all year,' says Melissa Caldwell, director of research at the Parents Television Council. The council has spearheaded a crusade against coarse language and sexual content on television and files many complaints with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The FCC can levy fines, often after an investigation and a vote by its five-member commission. It has not proposed a single fine for 2005."
