DISSENTING STATEMENT OF
COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS
Re: Complaints against Fox Television Stations, Inc.
Regarding Its Broadcast of the ``Keen Eddie'' Program
on June 10, 2003, Memorandum Opinion and Order
In the face of thousands of complaints, the majority
concludes that this episode concerning a prostitute and a
horse contains ``references of a sexual nature,'' but is not
indecent as it is not intended to pander, shock, or
titillate. I disagree with this entire analysis and
therefore must dissent.
