KCRW Broadcasts Word&;Bullshit&;
June 10, 2009
The usually profoundly boring &;The Politics of Culture&; on KCRW got a lot more interesting today, as artist Ed Moses used the word &;bullshit&; in response to a question posed by the indecipherable Edward Goldman and station queen/dragon lady Ruth Seymour. &;I used to say 98% of everything is bullshit,&; was his exact, on-air quote, which KCRW seemed to like so much that they podcast it unedited.
The irony, of course, is that Sandra Tsing Lo got fired for saying a magic word, possibly threatening the station&;s license with the wrath of the FCC, according to mama Ruth. Perhaps Seymour should have fired herself?

Fox Stands Up to theFCC
March 26, 2008
Fox is fighting the good fight, refusing to pay an indecency fine to the FCC. They&;ve already succeeded in getting the fine reduced from over $1 million to $91,000, as they fight for your First Amendment right to watch reality-show participants lick whipped cream off strippers.
