Fox is , refusing to pay an indecency fine to the FCC. They’ve already succeeded in getting the fine reduced from over $1 million to $91,000, as they fight for your First Amendment right to watch reality-show participants lick whipped cream off strippers.

We can only hope, although I’m no fan of Federal prosecutions; often, as in this case, they come close to entrapment, protect the privileged and crush the young, poorly-defended and weak.
But the dogfighting indictment against the NFL quarterback may have a couple of positive results. With Vick’s ‘friends’ rolling over like beer kegs heading down Pike’s Peak, Vick is faced with an unappetizing choice: taking a plea bargain or fighting their testimony (including the allegation he used his massive NFL salary to bankroll the dogfighting/killing operation) in open court.
What could be positive about all this? One, that the indictments, and hopefully, convictions, will dissuade at least some from raising dogs to tear each other to shreds. Another possibility is that the “don’t snitch” culture will spring a few leaks. If so-called friends can roll on Mike Vick, that message may very well get down to the gangster level.
