Ralph Peters, a Fox News “strategic analyst,” called the president a “total pu—” who “doesn’t want to hurt our enemies.”
A couple of hours later Stacey Dash, a Fox contributor, said the president “didn’t give a sh–” about Sunday night’s terrorism speech.
“Earlier today, Fox contributors Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash made comments on different programs that were completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air,” Fox senior executive vice president Bill Shine said.
“Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel do not condone the use of such language, and have suspended both Peters and Dash for two weeks,” he said.
For what it’s worth (as if I need to tell you), I’m on the side of Peters and Dash.

I know I can think of much worse words I would use to describe him, but I probably wouldn’t use them on television.

I can flip through over the air channels and hear much worse profanity than either of them used. I see stuff that is much worse than anything either of them said.
Remember the good ol’ days when commercials showed mom and dad sitting at the kitchen table with the kids and Christmas commercials showed Mom and Dad?
Remember when it was a big deal when the Brady’s were shown in the same bed?
If we still lived in that world I could understand their actions, but we don’t live in that world. So imho they were not suspended for profanity, they were suspended because they didn’t sugar coat it.

While Fox is veering quickly to the dark side, I would also suspect that part of falling on the sword so quickly has to to with mitigating any actions that might be taken by the FCC. No doubt they will be swinging a heavy hammer with these insults to their dear leader. 🙄

I don’t think the FCC has jurisdiction over cable channels, only broadcast.

Programming considered indecent, obscene, violent or otherwise offensive to some viewers may be transmitted over cable systems.
The FCC cannot restrict non-broadcast (cable) programming.
Cable Operators do not have the same restrictions on program content as regular television broadcast stations.
