...that recent example shows, it sometimes seems as if the Janet Jackson aftermath changed very little. It has--but in scattershot and inconsistent ways. In November, 65 ABC affiliates refused to air the uncut war movie Saving Private Ryan because of its profanity--although it had run without incident twice before. "It's a shame people couldn't see this patriotic film," said former Democratic presidential candidate General Wesley Clark, criticizing the FCC for waiting until February to rule that the film was not indecent.
