In a court filing Wednesday, the FCC defended its conclusion that the "vulgar expletives" from Cher and Nicole Richie during a Fox broadcast in 2002 violated community broadcasting standards, B&C reports.
The Supreme Court recently upheld the FCC’s decision to "expand broadcast indecency enforcement to fleeting expletives," and therefore, the commission said in a filing, Fox has “no basis” for challenging the FCC’s finding regarding the broadcasts.
