Concerned Women Are Concernstipated About Closed Captioning For The Deaf

“For years, the FCC has granted churches and small faith-based organizations an exemption from closed captioning requirements, because the additional financial burden would cripple their ability to produce these programs. Now the FCC is rescinding all exemptions and allowing only 90 days for programmers to meet these costly requirements. [snip] The FCC’s iron fist suggests a darker motive. Why such animosity towards religious groups? The erratic implementation of these high hurdles creates an undue hardship for these small Christian broadcasters that will be very hard to overcome. Clearly, the cure is worse than the disease in this case. I hope the FCC reconsiders this unnecessary move and allows religious broadcasters to continue doing their marvelous work, which contributes much needed aid to our moral and cultural decay.” – Penny Nance, head shrew for Concerned Women.
