According to the American Family Association, the large
number of comments given to the FCC took place over the span of only one week.
"It is apparent that Americans have an extremely high
interest in what is allowed over the airwaves and what their children and
grandchildren are watching and listening to on television and radio," the
group said.
AFA is one of many conservative and media content watchdog
groups advocating for the maintaining of the FCC's "standards of
decency" for language and sexual content.
Patrick Trueman, president and CEO of Morality in Media,
told The Christian Post that while the large number of comments was "a
very encouraging response" he was doubtful that the volume of responses
would affect the FCC's direction.
"Given that the FCC has for years totally ignored the
American public, as well as the will of Congress, on TV indecency, I am not
optimistic. The FCC notice of the change indicates that it is already implementing
the proposed policy," said Trueman.
