CBS challenges FCC ruling on 2004 Super Bowl

In a lawsuit filed yesterday, CBS contends that Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" during the 2004 Super Bowl was an "unscripted, unauthorized and unintended long-distance shot of Ms. Jackson's breast for nine-sixteenths of one second." The Los Angeles Times reports that the network is challenging the FCC's $550,000 fine for the incident, which was broadcast to an estimated audience of 90 million and was deemed indecent by the FCC.
