Due to controversy over the content of a recent “Frontline” documentary, local PBS CVL Convc > K*ri Smith affiliate WGVU had to air an edited version of GVL SPEAK UP the program to avoid possible Federal This week the Grand Valley Lanthorn asked eight community members: Communication Commission fines.

n Tuesday night, anyone looking to catch an Where will you be going for spring break and insightful view into the life of a soldier serving overseas in Iraq may have been disappointed by a whyP simpleO decision by local affiliate WGVU: They chose to air the edited version of the story. The featured “Frontline" documentary called “A Company of Soldiers" was not clean enough to play unedited during the coveted 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. time slot. The documentary, which in its unedited form includes soldiers serving in Iraq uttering profanities, should have been approved for unedited broadcast. WGVU, however, is not to blame. Assistant general manager at WGVU Ken Kolbe said the station would have liked.to run the unedited version, but could not risk a lawsuit or a fine. The bigger problem behind this issue is the blatant double “I will be staying at 7 will be traveling to “I'll be going home “I'm going with my home and working. I Mesa, Arizona to visit because I don't have cousin to visit my standard the Federal Communications Commission holds for work two jobs.

Sophomore Economics Junior The move by PBS closely follows a debate by ABC affiliates as to whether or not to run the war drama “Saving Private Ryan,” a movie that recreates some of the worst war has to offer on screen. After many complaints were received, the FCC ruled that the movie was not indecent or profane. Anyone who has seen “Saving Private Ryan” can attest to the sheer amount of gratuitous violence and realistic gore shown in the film. The ruling by the FCC that the movie was not inappropriate begs the question of where exactly is the line drawn? If ABC affiliates can play what could be described as one of the most "Actually, I'll be “I’m going to Miami, “I'm going back home “I'm not going gory and violent movies ever created, why does PBS have to sticking around home.
