is my example really more obscene than pillow boys shit?Both of your examples break FCC rules around obscenity. These rules are rooted in US law that says obsecene material isn't protected speech so that's why the broadcaster would be penalized.
Mr. Pillow's opinion piece made on paid airtime doesn't violate those rules and therefore is protected speech under the first amendment. OANs disclaimer is an attempt to avoid legal liability for airing the content.
The bulk of the disclaimer ("hey it's not what we believe and he's paid for this airtime") along with the first amendment would probably offer them a good amount of liability protection but the parts that go on to claim "viewers need to know this because maybe it's true" take away from that for me.
What's even more strange is that they are preaching to the choir so there's no real need to go there. Their lawyers must've thought it was fine and would offer more protection under FCC rules.
They're bending the rules. No rules can be airtight if the intention is to break it.So back to my example. If NBC aired an "opinion" piece from someone who wanted to prove that the source of all STD's was Ron Jeremey, (which is far more likely than any of Pillow Biters theories), and showed movie clips as proof, would they be protected? I know it is absurd, but I just don't see how claiming in the beginning that "this is lies" can protect you. What if someone starts watching in minute 2? They miss the disclaimer. I would get it if OAN had to flash "Bullshit" on the screen every 5 seconds, but a quick disclaimer at the beginning seems flimsy at best, even without the last 2 lines.

These fools are not going away anytime soon. Such a dangerous time for the US at the moment.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_TitorThe most immediate of Titor's predictions were of an upcoming civil war in the United States having to do with "order and rights". He described it as beginning in 2004,[8] with civil unrest surrounding the presidential election of that year. This civil conflict that he characterized as "having a Waco type event every month that steadily gets worse"[8] would be "pretty much at everyone's doorstep" and erupt by 2008.
As a result of the war, the United States would split into five regions based on various factors and differing military objectives. This civil war, according to Titor, would end in 2015 with a brief but intense World War III.
Tell you truth if the South wanted to leave that would be fine with me. Put all the right wing states in one place and all the nut jobs could migrate there. Let them feck each other up while the rest of the country moves forward.Tweet

Most of the states in the south with large metropolitan areas are slowly drifting to the Dems, so what would be the advantage of succeeding ?Tell you truth if the South wanted to leave that would be fine with me.

Obviously it wouldn’t work with demographics. I was more or less thinking of people with mindset moving to a place away from from the rest of usMost of the states in the south with large metropolitan areas are slowly drifting to the Dems, so what would be the advantage of succeeding ?
That's probably as realistic as Republicans wishing California would succeed. The trick is to win on ideas across the country and have that be expressed by voters at the polls.Obviously it wouldn’t work with demographics.

My neighbor moved to Penn to get away from NJ because she deemed us too liberal. More need to follow suit.That's probably as realistic as Republicans wishing California would succeed. The trick is to win on ideas across the country and have that be expressed by voters at the polls.
Succeeding is generally advantagous.Most of the states in the south with large metropolitan areas are slowly drifting to the Dems, so what would be the advantage of succeeding ?

Something smells rotten in the upper tiers of these collective agencies. Be it racial reasons, supporting Trump reasons, or secretly wanting to overthrow the government/Dems. The discrepancies between prepping for BLM protests and this Trump rally are night and day.Thanks for posting, that was a very interesting read
Yeah it certainly seems that way, even the huge delays in getting the national guard called in.Something smells rotten in the upper tiers of these collective agencies.

Whatever Garland says will be what is done. Quite clear that Biden wants to wash his hands of DOJ and distance himself from Trump's time.Merrick Garland said he intends to prosecute folks involved in Jan 6 to the fullest. Hope he gets the chance to.
