FCC grows some stugots, whacks CBS with largest fine in history

Per Bloomberg,

“The U.S. Federal Communications Commission, renewing a campaign against broadcast indecency…proposed fining CBS stations $3.63 million, the most ever, for an episode of the show “Without A Trace” that depicted a teen orgy.”

Our reaction? “Without a Trace” depicted a teen orgy? We really, really need to start watching more primetime TV.
