As you may know, ABC showed the unedited version of the motion picture "Saving Private Ryan" about a week ago. KOCO-TV was one of 66 ABC affiliates across the nation NOT to air the motion picture due to fears of FCC fines for violating censorship rules.

Was KOCO right in their decision? And why?

For me. No. The public should have the right to choose for themselves if the motion picutre violates THEIR censorship rules. Plus, there was a great deal of history in that motion picture. History children will not see.

Not all Normandy veterans will speak of that day. My dad included. What I know I learned from history books, movies, and the rest from what my mom forced out of him. Plus, when the rest of the vets are dead, the history will be also.

It is mainly the first amendment rights that says KOCO did NOT make the correct choice.
