  • I appreciate the explanation but also agree that it is not very funny. Comics are cartoons and nobody takes cartoons literally, which is the whole point. Reality is suspended when consuming cartoons, so the idea of a fish wearing a hat is actually pretty sensible. I think if the fish pulled out something more far-fetched like machine guns or a sex doll then it might work. Of course those ideas may go against your view of wholesome.


  • I had to look it up and it’s an AI slop answer so I guess I could do better, but apparently the FCC does not regulate cable news programs in the same way it does with over the air broadcast. Here’s the relevant slop:

    Key Points of Regulation

    Jurisdiction: The FCC regulates cable television under Title VI of the Communications Act, which was established in the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984. This includes rules about competition and consumer protection.

    Content Regulation: While the FCC can enforce rules regarding indecency and ensure that cable operators provide certain services, it does not regulate the content of news programming in the same way it does for broadcast television. This means that cable news channels have more freedom regarding what they can air.

    Public Interest: The FCC’s mandate includes ensuring that communications services operate in the public interest. However, this does not extend to controlling the editorial content of cable news networks.
