: How Appealing"Super Bowl Fine Is Voided; Court's Indecency Ruling Trumps FCC"
The New York Times reports today that "Indecency Penalty Against CBS Is Rejected."
Jim Puzzanghera of The Los Angeles Times reports that "Court tosses FCC 'wardrobe malfunction' fine; The ruling releases CBS from paying a $550,000 penalty levied for Janet Jackson's breast-baring incident during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show; It's also a blow to the FCC's indecency policy."
The Wall Street Journal reports that "CBS Wins Verdict on FCC Indecency Fine."
USA Today reports that "FCC loses appeal of 'wardrobe malfunction' fine." The newspaper also contains an editorial entitled "A split-second decision."
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that "CBS fine for faulty wardrobe is voided."
The Philadelphia Daily News reports that "FCC wrong in CBS 'malfunction' fine."
And Shannon P. Duffy of The Legal Intelligencer reports that "3rd Circuit Tosses 'Wardrobe Malfunction' Fine Against CBS."
My earlier coverage of yesterday's Third Circuit ruling appears at this link.
