STATEMENT OF FCC COMMISSIONER MIGNON L. CLYBURN ON THE DECISION 
OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT IN FCC v. FOX TELEVISION STATIONS
“In reviewing the Supreme Court’s decision, which is narrowly focused on conduct from 
a decade ago, we will adhere to the principles set forth by the Court.
Citizens depend on laws that protect their families, and look to both industry and 
government to ensure that no child is unduly influenced by harmful material before they reach 
the age of understanding.  However, we must be mindful of the rights guaranteed under the First 
Amendment.”
