FCC swamped with complaints, but... [Dec. 7th, 2004|02:46 am]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell A Friend Next Entry
The number of indecency complaints had soared dramatically to more than 240,000 in the previous year [...]. The figure was up from roughly 14,000 in 2002, and from fewer than 350 in each of the two previous years.

From 14,000 to 240,000 is growth of a factor of 17. And 350 to 14,000 is a factor of 40.

However...

According to a new FCC estimate obtained by Mediaweek, nearly all indecency complaints in 2003—99.8 percent—were filed by the Parents Television Council, an activist group.


Nice work.
