When ABC showed Saving Private Ryan on Veterans Day, 66 affiliates refused to carry it for fear of indecency complaints. Not just from all the bleeding and dying -- but also from the language actors used portraying soldiers bleeding and dying. But the FCC has cleared the movie.
In its order, the FCC said: "In light of the overall context in which this material is presented, the commission determined that it was not indecent or profane." Chairman Michael Powell issued a statement saying the story could not be told properly without the violence and language.
