The buzz on Capitol Hill is Novak. It's all anybody is talking about.
Where is the fine? Robert Novak gets a suspension from CCN which covers their tracks pretty well but the FFC is sure slow in forcing Novak to write the check.
Novak has finally proven that right wing media people get special treatment.
This is a clear example of how the FCC plays politics with the person in question.
Novak should be fined, and fined severely for his swearing on CNN Thursday afternoon. A suspension covers the tracks of corporate, but it doesn't hurt Novak where other broadcasters have been drilled, the bank account.
Novak is an administration favorite. His tie to Bush and the favored treatment he gets, is clear. He dodged the CIA investigation while another reporter sits in jail. He often floats administration policy to the public before things become policy. He's in the loop, and definitely protected.
Other broadcasters don't have this cover with the FCC. So I ask, where is the fine from the FCC to Novak?
They won't hang one of their own, you can count on that.

His swearing? He said Bullsh**. For the kind of foul mouth you have mingotreg, you are some hypocrite!!
You dont care about his swearing.
He was suspended for walking off the set more than anything else. That show is already set-up to be volatile and if he didnt walk off the set, it would have just went on with barely a blip about it later.
Hey, Fast Foward to 2005: They say bitc* Azz and a multitude of other words on network and cable television now. (I think there is like five words they can get away with at different time slots.) And Bullsh* is probably the least offensive of any of them.
Furthermore CNN is a cable station. I thought cable had a slightly different set of rules where that is concerned anyway.
