Thanks to a delay system, WFAN’s Don Imus was able to bleep out a bad word when Hardball host Chris Matthews, during a Wednesday-morning simulcast interview, let slip, "I want a guy to run for President who doesn’t have a f—ing ranch." MSNBC viewers, however, heard the F-bomb in all its glory, since the cabler doesn’t employ a delay on its end. MSNBC has received no complaints, reports the New York Daily News — perhaps only because, face it, Matthews has desensitized us to a lot of things at this point.

That just goes to prove that no one watches the show because no one complained. If people were watching the FCC would’ve been flooded with calls from the PTC.
BTW I wonder what Studio 60 has to say about all of this, you know using the old F word in a live broadcast with a 7 second delay. (Yes you had to have watched the show to get that reference.)
