This article comments on recent developments in the field of communication and broadcasting in the United States with specific reference to politics in the U.S. and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). FCC promulgates' vague new censorship rules were designed to give broadcasting that white-bread taste it had lost in the 1960s. Then the United States Information Agency decided to give certain documentary films export labels as "propaganda," thus denying them duty-free status. Now, the FCC is facing a challenge by Allen Ginsberg, a poet and civil liberties lawyers over the threat to the progressive Pacifica radio network.
