Talking Points: F-bombing the bombers, extra planets, geography fact Czech

Did the FCC give a f*** about Big Papi’s obscenity?

In the first Red Sox home game after the Boston bombing tragedy and ensuing manhunt, superstar David Ortiz told the crowd (and a live television and radio audience), “This is our f***ing city and nobody is going to dictate our freedom.” Stations that had broadcast the expletive could have faced a fine, but FCC chairman Julius Genachowski let it slide, tweeting, “David Ortiz spoke from the heart at today’s Red Sox game. I stand with Big Papi and the people of Boston.” It certainly doesn’t hurt that Genachowski hails from Brookline, Mass., less than 5 miles outside of Beantown.
