On CNN's coverage of the inaugural parade, you could just hear, quite clearly and distinctly, and rather louder than the voice of the reporter speaking, cries of "Fuck Bush!" repeated about a half dozen times. Now, CNN's on cable, obviously, but I wonder: If this were network news airing the same feed and someone complained, could they be held liable by the FCC just for running live footage from a public event?
