It was a taped (whatever taped means today) weather update. No one 
heard it before it was fed into the system? If there ever should be a 
fine, this is it. It wasn't a live "accident" It could have been 
prevented if someone had been paying attention. She could have 
rattled off every profanity in the book and said something 
insensitive about the GM's mother and no one would have known until 
it aired. I'd call it bad quality control, not paranoia about fines. 
Just the opposite, in fact.

What's probably going to happen is that firings will be required any 
time anything questionable airs, just to show the FCC we care about 
the children. Of course, for every one profanity the weatherwoman 
used the children used five.
