WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Supreme Court upheld a U.S. government crackdown on profanity on television, a policy that subjects broadcasters to fines for airing a single expletive blurted out on a live show.
In its first ruling on broadcast indecency standards in more than 30 years, the high court handed a victory on Tuesday to the Federal Communications Commission, which adopted the crackdown against the one-time use of profanity on live television when children are likely to be watching.

I know these guys are nowhere near the men the broadcasters they follow were, but it never hurts to strive for a high standard, even one that appears as unattainable as this one probably does.

It shows a zero tolerance policy for it, that's where I have an issue with it. I find it funny though, the bleeping of swear words, like folks don't know what it being said anyway.
That's why Canada wised up and doesn't bleep swear words on TV, like the US does.
I'd rather the government let the words through and let the parents do their job and explain why they should refrain from using such words until they were older.

Wow. I didn't know that.
Once again, Canada is ahead of the U.S. on social issues.
