File FCC Complaint Against 700 Club

The FCC has defined profanity as including language that "denote[s] certain of those personally reviling epithets naturally tending to provoke violent resentment or denoting language so grossly offensive to members of the public who actually hear it as to amount to a nuisance." Using this test, Pat Robertson's broadcast clearly violates the community standards issue.

If you are outraged about Pat Robertson's broadcast where he advocated using international political assassination and want to file an FCC complaint against Mr. Robertson and/or the Christian Broadcasting Network, go to the Christian Broadcasting Network web site and get the broadcast information for your area for the 700 Club and then visit the Federal Communications Commission's web site to lodge an actual complaint.

You may also file a complaint via e-mail at fccinfo@fcc.gov or by calling:
1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) voice or
1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) TTY.
