You're right, of course. But still — MSNBC smacked down Schuster really hard for the 'pimping' remark, which they should have. They only did it, of course, after there was such a HUGE hue and cry from the Clinton campaign and her supporters.

Fox will not take responsibility for the reasons you state.

Therefore, it seems to me that the FCC should take a serious and meaningful stand on this, apology or no apology, and let Fox News know that it is not acceptable to broadcast this kind of speech across the airwaves.
