FCC: The definitive tirade

Paul Harris invited me onto KMOX this afternoon to let the FCC have it with both barrels. I tried my gol-darndest:

Also, the always incisive Adam Thierer has weighed in with a provocative posting that says the words I long to hear: Yesterday's ruling could be the beginning of the end of the FCC's indecency crusades.

What's working for me this week

Waiting for NBC to be sold. Preferably to someone who knows how to run a network.
The audacity to remake. Over three nights beginning Sunday, AMC is airing a new take on the 1960s boggler “The Prisoner,” a task not for timid cable channels. See my review in Sunday's A&E.
"Andy Barker, P.I." on DVD. With the release earlier this year of “Andy Richter Controls the Universe,” our collection of the funniest sitcoms nobody watched is now complete.

... AND WHAT'S NOT

Writing ill of the dead. Richard Schickel gratuitously roasted the new Robert Altman biography (author Mitchell Zuckoff is at the Plaza Branch on Monday), calling the director an angry, drug-addled auteur of "historical curiosities."
Rupert Murdoch's war on fair use. The Fox chieftain doesn't believe anyone should be allowed to quote or mashup his content without paying for it. Sadly for him, recent court rulings have all gone the opposite direction.
Waiting nine months for "Mad Men" season four to start.
