Occupy Wall Street: Zero Patience

Fox & Friends kicks off Friday with a ticked Brian Kilmeade on the "pissed off" people after two months of Occupy Wall Street.

Kilmeade:  "Are you allowed to say that on the air?"
Alisyn Camerota: "I don't know." 

After nearly a week filling in for Greg Gutfeld on the kick-ass ratings phenomenon The Five, Kilmeade should know piss and its variations -- or anything else uttered on cable news (see The Five's Bob Beckel) -- have no FCC consequences.

Over at MSNBC they're showing bare boobs. Not the hosts.  TVNewser  Nothing new for NBC. NewsBusters points to July's Today show boob obsession.

  2. Fucking right!
    But piss, bastard, and asshole have made broadcast airwaves any number of times, and CBS let "Shit happens" air on broadcast prime time a few years ago, and I don't recall any aftershocks from that.  George Carlin's 7 words routine is a museum piece.
