The FCC claims it received a number of viewer complaints about ABC's uncensored broadcast of Saving Private Ryan last Thursday. In the end, 30 percent of ABC's stations — fearing reprisals from the FCC — boycotted Ryan. It was unclear how many complaints were logged, but sources confirm that anything in excess of three would be deeply disturbing.
