What is this nonsense about screening out "swear words" from satellite news?
I doubt that the law requires this, considering that uncensored movies are
transmitted via satellite all the time.  Let's not introduce such juvenile
foolishness into the news system unless the law mandates it.

There is no reason to think that an article containing words some consider
"obscene" could not be well worth reading.
