Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Q: Is it permissible to say "fucking" on TV if you're reporting on Tillerson calling Trump a fucking moron? Asking for a friend.

        Yeah. I didn't realize until my third piece for Motherboard that swearing is actually encouraged there.

        If not, there's a big First Amendment problem. Necessary, newsworthy, not gratuitous.

        Of course. Especially as it's reporting on a case where the "administration" was being truthful about itself. THAT is newsworthy!!!

        Live TV? Wouldn't matter if it's permissible or not. Your "friend" could take it for spin & see how it goes.
