Conservative Family Group Protesting the CBS 9/11 Documentary

The Rev. Donald Wildmon's American Family Association has urged
members to protest against CBS's decision to air an updated version of
its 9/11 documentary in which firemen and other emergency workers are
seen swearing. Although the program had aired previously without
challenge from the FCC, the commission has since ruled that similar
language used by blues musicians in a PBS documentary was indecent. In
its letter the AFA urged members to send complaints to the FCC and
their local CBS affiliates. CBS said in a statement: "In order to
ensure that viewers are aware of the language, we will include
warnings in the broadcast, and Robert De Niro, who will again serve as
host in a newly taped introduction to the program, will also alert
viewers to the graphic language. This will allow ample notice for
viewers to seek other programming if they feel this broadcast is not
appropriate for their household."
