- Well now. I really must beg to differ.
-
- Conspiratorially minded though I am (and for that matter, my station is!),
- I have a hard time with the above assertion, due to the behavior of the
- inspectress. It was a very bland, ordinary bureaucracy check. She even
- let us handwave past a few little deficiencies.
-
- If they had wanted
- to roast us for our views, they (i.e. several people) would have come in
- armed with tapes of people playing "fuck songs" during drive time, 20
- plays per week of "Detachable Penis" and so on. There would also have
- been a tech inspection, finding who knows what deficiencies in our
- transmission system (shudder).
-
- I also understand that this was a local-office initiative, not a nationwide
- sweep.
