"The FCC said it had received "159 complaints" about "Married by America." But media writer Jeff Jarvis obtained copies of those complaints, and the number was not 159, but 90, written by 23 people. And 21 apparently were copied from the same form letter by a conservative group."

So, at a guess since it had terrible ratings, let's say 500,000 people watched this show, and they got "159" complaints so .000318% of viewers can dictate what we see and watch.

How American.
