The Foul language was" If mothers ruled the world... there would be no WAR" She is like 60+, I'm sure she was about to drop the F bomb; maybe the N word?!

First of all as a mother- I do not need some lame actress speaking for MY position as a mother. Most of the mothers I know- do NOT appreciate her speaking for them either. Maybe she needs to stick to her current role as an actress.

Let me FIX it for you Qwirker, as you apparently don't know what she said. It was "If mothers ruled the world... there would be no (G-D DAMN) WAR"!

Goodness gracious, she's 60! No excuse for foul language on TV!

Sometimes Qwicker, you come off as an F bomb! LMAO!

PATHETIC!!!

[quickerthanmost]

Yeah like it was the G-D reference, not the word "WAR" that upset the censors I guess I'll have to scan through some of Fox's brain numbing one word TV shows: House, 24.... (Too many words would confuse Fox viewers)to see if they use any objectionable language.

So are Fox hypocrites? worrying about what Sally Field might say?

Parents Television Council: TV is filthy

Media watchdog group says Fox, 24, Earl, American Dad biggest offenders of primetime profanity, violence.

Won't someone think of the children? Well, someone is, and they're pissed off at television.

The Parents Television Council has released the results of its latest look into the state of network prime-time television programming, and according to the nonprofit, TV is plagued with potty-mouths, soaked in sexually charged innuendo, and gushing with gratuitous violence.



Jason &*#@ing Lee of My *%&ing Name is @#!* Earl, @*$!.
The conservative group, which says its mission is "to promote and restore responsibility and decency to the entertainment industry," was scathing in its criticism of "family hour" programming. In a statement, PTC president Tim Winter said, "Our study clearly demonstrates that corporate interests have hijacked the Family Hour from families." Winter continued, "Shockingly, [the PTC's findings] shows that parents cannot trust what is on during the so-called Family Hour for even a minute."

The study looked at last season's programming (shows that aired in 2006 and 2007), and found that almost 90 percent of the 208 shows examined contained what the group calls objectionable content. It also claims that instances of profanity, violence, or sexual content occur once every three-and-a-half minutes during the first hour of prime time.

Which network is corrupting our children the most, according to the PTC? Hands down it's Fox, which at 20.78 instances of objectionable content each hour more than doubles its nearest competitor. The single worst show in the study was Fox's American Dad, with an average of 52 objectionable instances per hour.



American Dad--the worst show on television, according to PTC.
On the other side of the spectrum, The CW was named "cleanest programming overall," and the PTC approved Deal or No Deal, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader, Identity, and Grease: You're the One That I Want as "best overall due to lack of foul language, violence, and sexual content."

Individual leaders of controversial material include NBC's My Name is Earl with 16 instances of foul language per hour, Fox's The War at Home with 33 "sexual depictions of references" per hour, and Fox's 24 with "a ****ping 28 occurrences of violence" per hour. The PTC did not explain its guidelines for what it counted as violent, sexual, or profane.

When compared to programming from 2001-2002, sexual references and violence rose 22 percent and 52 percent, respectively, whereas uncensored foul language actually dropped.

"The Family Hour needs to be restored," Winter said. "We are calling on the broadcast industry to return to the time-honored principle of airing mature-themed content only at later times of the evening; and to provide parents with a consistent, objective, and meaningful content-ratings system."

For the complete results of the study, head over to the official home page of the PTC.

Let me begin by starting with a big so friggin what. Last time I checked the emmys weren't the floor of the UN (though with all the blowhards there it very well could be).

People don't tune in to see a political tirade. They tune in to see who wins, look at pretty dresses and watch cute little acceptance speeches.

So Sally Field doesn't like the war. Fox isn't her personal network to bring her message to the world.

[GNandGS]

What isnt being said is that Sally F was more than able to ramble on and on, ultimately getting her point of view out to the public. No stoppage of an "idea" etc.

Some things just dont get past a filter and quite frankly once it looked like she was about to go off, there wasnt any way to know when she would stop or what she would say after.

Your challenge would be to do better on a 5 sec delay...

One thing is certain Sally Field is no Kanye West

Technically, Field’s censored words are not profane. A 2004 FCC ruling specifically stated no objection to the use of “god damn” on TV when making a judgment on the uproar over Bono swearing at the Golden Globes in 2003 where he used more colorful language.

I want an apology from her. Not so much for her thinking that anybody cares what she thinks about world politics...but for her thinking that "Smokey and the Bandit Part 2" was actually a good idea!

the whole point is LET THE AUDIENCE decide. If they love her, hate her, think shes a wacko, whatever.
don't just eliminate it as if it never happened

[GNandGS]

I say again, if I have my finger on the button and some whacktard gets all loopy on air.... THEN starts with will likely be profane... I hit the button.

Too many past examples to learn from... its happened before and will happen again. You can thank Janet for a more zealous approach if you want, but political? Dont be stupid. Fox has a history NO diff that other networks for pushing the envelope or even making fun of itself.

A country of children that need to be protected from harsh language, boobies, and political statements.

Chuck, I was trying to stay in my "NICE" mode to him! Have you noticed lately the the Qwirk Bros. are starting to loose (yes, I spelled it wrong) it when they post? It really is Futile trying to reason with them!

Well, if you look at the video, instead of running your mouth and not knowing what your talk about, you'd see that she had previously said WAR!

Qwirker, I thought your TV forte was Cartoon Network and MTV! Try moving up to Fit TV and the Game show network next! Jeeeess!

There is absolutely no reason to fairly and civilly debate anyone that is morally, and intellectually dishonest!

Kind of like what Qwirker is on this most thread! LMAO!

OK , Paraphrase of Sally Field " mothers ... waiting for their Children to return from war..." sounds heroic and thoughtful, Nothing to get Fox upset there, when she went on about "there would be no war..." I BELIEVE that not knowing what direction or even if she would get "Kanye West" on the stage-

Nevertheless EAT, you go ahead and convince yourself it was the G/D reference that is not even offensive to the FCC standards, that caused the censor! Keep right on believing?! ( humm that Journey song)

Offensive to RIGHT WING RELIGIOUS BIGGOTS! I really don't know, why don't YOU call up FOX, make a complaint and see if YOU can find out! It doesn't bother me one way or the other!

No thats not the whole point. The network gets to decide what is proper and what they want to air. An awards show is not a place to spew political platitudes.

Shes rich enough to buy her own airtime. If she wants to do it there than by all means

Exactly. Who gives a crap either way. This should be a non story.

Sally Fields' opinion on anything is beyond irrelevant. I can't believe anyone is arguing about this.
