FCC Gets Complaints Over Trump "Pussy" Comments
/Some parents are not happy with CNN airing Donald Trump saying that you can "grab them by the pussy" while talking about women with Billy Bush.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the FCC has received a number of complaints against CNN for airing the infamous Trump tapes, most coming from alarmed parents.
"I am very concerned as to the display of this vulgar information as my young daughter was watching TV next to me," read one complaint. "How do I a parent of a fifteen year old talk about what Trump was talking about on the video?" said another. A third complaint read, "If it's so bad that Trump should drop out of the race saying it ONE time then why is it ok for CNN to run it 4 times an hour for 48 hours straight??????" (That's more of a comment on CNN's general business plan, but still.) One angry viewer also threatened to sue CNN.
Of course, the FCC does not have much control over cable news, even if it did want to monitor the use of "pussy."
Maybe those parents should direct their anger at Trump and not CNN anyway.
Just saying....
