The cand idacy of D onald Trump is not quest ioned. But the cont inuous f ree me d ia he is rece iv ing f rom

var ious networks - ie, CNN , FO X, etc. -has forced v iewers to see l it tle of any other candidates, I t wou ld

seem that the m ed ia has chosen our nex t p res ident wi thout our votes. I t would appear that no one is

doing a th ing to give ade quate co verage to other f iled candidates. Is th is not a problem for fair and

I am f i l ing a com plaint for the use of a profane langua ge broadca sted by our local radio stat ion, W LAD

Danb ury , CT. Th is v io la t ion occur red dur r ing the Todd S chn i tt rad io show at 3 :49 P M Monda y August

10 th 201 5. The use o f the tern "asshole" was used at that t ime by a cal ler whi le descr ibing Donald

Trump af ter the R epubl ican nat ional debate. I find the language used by rad io and TV over publ ic

a i rwaves becom ing more c rass a nd vu lgar over the the past severa l years and I look to the FCC to

enforce the decency s tandards that have been pa ssed by congress in order to restore som e leve l o f

decency and civil i ty to our culture.

From: Lakewood CO 802 26 -3835

Sub ject: Breadth & Ba lance of 'Publ ic ' -Coverage on 'Pub l ic ' -Radio.

G ood Sirs: This em ail relates to the seem ing-Absence of a more-Accu rate Effect ive O ffic ial-FCC-

Defin i tion of the Term -'Publ ic ', than that present ly-adhered by Colorado Publ ic Ra dio, Relat ive-To I ts-

Programm ing, I measure.

My Dissa t isfact ion ar is ing from the CPR -procliv ity for determinedly-REFU SING Pointed Ba lanced-

DISCUSSIONS of POLITICAL-F UNDAM ENTALS: Capita l is t To Socia l is t , which ALWAYS-Affect Today's

Com bat ive-Issues: which I Insist IS That-Part of Today's- 'ED UC ATIO N'.

CP R wa ndered on for 10-m inutes-each, th is Morning, Emotional ly , abou t 'Negros in ear ly-Denver ' , &

for , 'KKK -popular i ty in Denver ' , & 'Hom osexua l-Promiscuity' .

W ik ipedia uses the e xpression, 'A Pr ivate, Not-For-Prof it , Corporat ion. ' , and FCC uses the term s

'Educat ional Ra dio'---which then perm its E nt irely-Conse rvat ive-Form at---as do P r ivate-Schools, with

NEV ER a ment ion o f US- 'Poverty '.

So I now rea l ize that the contem porary D ef in it ion of 'Pu bl ic ' , as to Ra dio, bares zero relat ionship to

'Concerns-Ab out US -Society ' , and is ent irely G uided-By, 'Popu l ist-Desirabi li ty ' , supported pr imar i ly by a
