Saving Ryan's Privates from the FCC

ABC affiliates have chosen not to show Saving Private Ryan citing concern of retribution from the all mighty FCC. "Affiliates in Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia said they were worried about running afoul of the Federal Communications Commission in Washington." How did Massachusetts, the bastion of liberal extremism, the epicenter of homosexuality, the Godless state of freeloading socialists get on this list? It must be a typo.

I don't get it. The FCC refuses to assess content prior to it's broadcast as this could be described as censorship, but the unwillingness of the FCC to pre-screen content is censorship in itself.
