DIANE SAWYER - KEATON USES "F" WORD; FCC SILENT

KEATON USES "F" WORD; FCC SILENT

During an interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC's Good Morning America Tuesday, Diane Keaton blurted out the "f" word, then apologized. The incident might have triggered action by the FCC, but FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said later that a recent court decision overturning the FCC's policy on the fleeting use of such expletives tied the commission's hands. The FCC is appealing the decision. An ABC news spokesman called the incident "unfortunate" and said that that word had been bleeped in later feeds to time zones in the West.
