airing

The Journal has followed the case in an investigative series beginning last spring and a podcast airing this fall.

Pastore, with jurisdiction over the FCC, demanded that controversial episodes of the Smothers Brothers show be submitted to a review board of the National Association of Broadcasters for approval before airing.

Her mom, Joelle, had caught “Gilmore Girls” every now and then when it was airing, and she introduced it to her daughter years later, watching it more intently with her new viewing partner.

The policy change comes after Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem complained that her remarks on Aug. 31 program were shortened before airing.

She added that "there's a limit to what you can do" from outside cabinet and "what I don't think members want is for us to be airing our dirty linen in public".
